This extension disables the 0-9, Home and End keyboard shortcuts on YouTube which seek to different times on a video.

The volume control keys on my laptop are directly above the numbers. Sometimes when I change the volume I accidentally press a number key which seeks to a different place in the video I am watching and causes me to lose my place. This extension solves the problem by disabling the number keyboard shortcuts.

It works. I use arrow keys and guess which key is closest? Zero. I randomly restart my videos all the time on accident. Thank you
