Swipe for volume, brightness and seek. Double-tap to skip, hold for speed. Optional fullscreen player. Made for touch screens. Thumbwheel adds touch gestures to web video on tablets and touch-screen laptops. Swipe, tap and hold right on the video. Gestures - Swipe left or right to seek. A badge shows the new position. - Swipe up or down on the left half for the video's brightness, on the right half for volume. - Double-tap the left or right side to jump back or forward (10 seconds by default). - Hold the upper half to play faster, the lower half to play slower. Vertical swipes work when the video fills most of the screen, so page scrolling stays normal. A setting allows them on small players too. Fullscreen player A player button on videos (switch it off in settings) opens a fullscreen player with a big play and pause button, skip buttons, a seek bar, a speed button and a lock for the controls. Site by site Choose On, Native (the site keeps its own double-tap), Take-over (always use the fullscreen player) or Off for each site. The options page also sets sensitivity, jump length, hold speeds and screen-edge guards. Built for touch screens, on Chromium browsers that support extensions. Mouse and trackpad gestures are off by default. Thumbwheel collects no data and makes no network requests.
