videoyoutube
By pressing j or l on your keyboard, you can forward/rewind a YouTube video by 10 sec. But sometimes I need the ability to forward or rewind it by 3 sec, 5 sec, etc. Is there a way to control this?
EDIT: I'm on Win 7 and using YouTube in HTML5 (though, I wouldn't mind switching to Flash if necessary for this.)
Install the YouTube Center user script and go to Youtube. You get a settings button now in the upper right corner. Click it to open the settings, switch to Player and select your preferred player.
Disable Dash Playback if buffering still doesn’t work.
Try Chrome extension: Stylebot
You can install CSS styling from lots of other users who have submitted the styling or you can just make your own.
To remove video content. You just need to use selector tool to select video element and mark height = 0.
Good thing with this extension that you can use it to style any website to remove distractions. Whenever you want to remove styling you can reset it.

If you load the YouTube video into an external player instead of using the HTML5 or flash embedded player, you can do so quite easily.
For example, the latest versions of the free, open source, and cross-platform VLC can directly load a YouTube video stream from just the URL to the page: Media | Open Network Stream and then paste in the YouTube URL. You can then use the full gamut of the VLC video player seeking capabilities, including jumping to a specific timestamp, skipping forward frame-by-frame, moving x seconds forward and backward, etc.
