Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Currently next chapter only starts once the time is greater than the chapter beginning.
For example:
Chapter 1: [0s - 100s]
Chapter 2: ]100s - 200s]
Chapter 3: ]200s - End]

So if you go to time 100s it will show chapter 1, which seems like no big deal, but if you use the media controls to go to the start of the currently chapter it shortly switches to the previous chapter and than back to the current one. [will add video later]

What I would prefer:
chapter-end time is exclusive, chapter-start time is inclusive.

Chapter 1: [0s - 100s[
Chapter 2: [100s - 200s[
Chapter 3: [200s - End]

So the time 100s would be chapter 2 and the back button would not go to the previous chapter

Why would this be helpful?

Less flickering between chapter if using media controls
