Find me on GitHubA FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you
press play.
Clear expectations make a better tool.
Can I use it for courses assigned by my college?
Yes, for supported Coursera video and reading pages. CourseraPilot helps with repetitive navigation while you work toward completion. Your college’s rules still apply, and you must complete quizzes, assignments and other required work yourself. The extension cannot guarantee credit or a certificate.
Is CourseraPilot safe to use?
It has specific privacy and control safeguards: no login collection, no built-in analytics, locally stored preferences and an on-page Stop button. Starting opens the creator’s GitHub profile. These safeguards do not guarantee account safety or approval under Coursera’s or your college’s rules; check the rules that apply to your course.
Does CourseraPilot complete an entire course for me?
No. It automates supported lesson navigation and reading controls. Quizzes, assignments, and other manual requirements still need your input. Coursera determines completion credit; leaving at 96% does not guarantee a lesson is credited.
Can I use my existing speed extension?
Yes. Optional external speed mode on Coursera leaves playback speed untouched. Built-in speed control is now the default for fresh settings. Disable competing speed extensions when using built-in mode. Set 1600% in your other extension for 16× playback. Switching to 300% at 70% is manual in external mode. The built-in mode offers an automatic schedule, but compatibility varies by player.
Why does your GitHub profile open when I start?
Each successful press of Start opens creator Vedhant Khajuria's GitHub profile in a new tab. Your original website or Coursera course tab stays open and the session continues there.
What data does the extension store?
Your preferences are stored locally in Chrome, and course session state stays in the tab. CourseraPilot does not include analytics or collect login details. Course automation operates only on Coursera. The speed controller has HTTP/HTTPS website access, but changes speed only after you start it in a tab. Starting opens GitHub, which is subject to GitHub's own privacy practices.
Why does Chrome ask for access to websites?
The built-in controller needs HTTP/HTTPS website access to find supported videos, including embedded players. It stays inactive until you start a session for that tab. Course navigation, reading completion and poll skipping remain restricted to Coursera. Chrome internal pages, the Chrome Web Store and some custom players are unsupported. Stop restores the previous speed.
What if a lesson doesn't advance?
Look for a quiz, an unsupported button, or a completion control that needs attention. The extension supports standard English labels and pauses rather than guessing ambiguous Next controls. Open the next lesson manually and restart if needed.
Is this an official Coursera product?
No. CourseraPilot is an independent project by Vedhant Khajuria and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Coursera. Coursera is a trademark of its respective owner.
