Description of App
Dynamo lets you designate four unique hotkeys on your keyboard, one of which skips video ads on any website you visit, and the other three allow you to change the flow of any online video, whether you watch news, vlogs or interviews, tutorials, lectures ...
–
IN A NUTSHELL:
• Video flow controller for Safari
• Allows you to skip video ads
• Lets you customise the hotkeys
• Works on all your favourite websites
• Never collects any personal data
QUICK START GUIDE:
A welcome screen will take you to the Extensions Preferences pane in Safari. Click the checkbox next to the item called Dynamo and you're all set.
CONTROLS:
While watching video in Safari, press these keys on your keyboard to control the playback:
E skips the ads you don't want to see
S slows down the playback
D sets the speed back to default
F makes the content flow faster
CUSTOMIZATION:
All keyboard shortcuts are configurable and can be changed in the popover menu. Click the Dynamo icon in your Safari toolbar and then choose the settings icon to access the menu.
DATA PROTECTION:
Safari shows you a notice that says the extension can read personal information and browsing history. This broadly described level of access is necessary for any extension that changes the behaviour of website elements, like the speed of video. Dynamo does not read nor collect any personal data. We've deliberately designed this app so that we can't even encounter any. All Dynamo's processes run solely on your machine.
UPDATES:
You may need to quit Safari before you update Dynamo via Mac App Store. Closing the browser is not sufficient, quit Safari with command+Q or go to menu bar and choose Safari > Quit Safari. Go back to the App Store, update Dynamo, then you can launch Safari again.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT:

Letters for youtube
I don't know if this was possible before i installed the app. But if you press the letter J, it skips back 10 seconds. If you press K, it pauses/plays the video. If you press L, it skips 10 seconds forward. If you press M, it mutes the video. And if you press C, it turns on/off close captions. But these letters only work on youtube. Not any other website. It would've been cool if that was possible on other sites. Just thought i'd mention that.
this has been a part of Youtube for a long time
hello,
All keystrokes mentioned in this comment are Youtube native keystrokes. and, this extention is not free. It costs $0.99 at least on the Canadian Mac Appstire,
regards,
Daniel
Re: this has been part of YouTube for a long time
Hey Daniel,
Thanks for telling me that. I didn’t know that these keystrokes were used in YouTube. I only discovered them after I installed the extension. That’s why I said I wasn’t sure if it was part of the extension or not. And as for the price, it was free when I downloaded it. I am in the US
can't get this extension working
hello all,
I bought this extention and once downloaded tried to get it working. I went to the welcome screen to the extensions part of Safari. I see the checkbox for dinoamo, but it says unchecked. why is that?
regards,
Daniel

hello to all,
I finally got this extention working. I installed another extention and then dinamo worked.
regards,
Daniel
Hi Daniel
Glad to hear that you fixed it. I just followed the steps and checked the box next to dynamo. I had no problems installing or using it.
