I am not sure if I can fix this. It does not seem to happen on firefox, but I think I was able to confirm the the audio will go slightly off snyc.

Firefox seems to work but i notice lower quality video, probably a difference in DRM between chrome and firefox. Thanks for looking into it.

edit:
I would like to add on that after every ad the audio/video will get more off sync in chrome. It is quite noticeable after the third ad plays as lip syncing will not match up at all.

Can you fix the audio/video sync by switching the language forth and back. I am trying of solutions to fix this, because fast forwarding with the neflix functions itself does not fix it

[Dreamlinerm]

I am trying to slow down the forwarding before the ad is over but that does not ssem to help resolve the issue.

This might be a general Chrome issue where forwarding makes the browser lag.
Try setting chrome to max performence in the task manager this might help the issue.

I just tried forwarding normally and it also misaligns the audio and video so I think this a cant fix issue.

Reading the link you posted, they where saying Edge worked? Would it be possible to get this addon added to Edge, to take advantage of the better video quality it provides over Firefox? Other than that this ticket can be closed.

You can just download the normal Chrome add-on on edge.
