Describe the feature/enhancement

It would be nice to make the play/time-bar on iOS a little narrower so it's easy to grab the playhead when starting a chapter... it's close to the edge, so it's pretty easy to accidentally start a swipe-right instead of moving the playhead.

I think this is 100% needed. Personally I don’t really see the benefit in the swipe right functionality on that screen as a whole!

@sizzleweet Agreed. I couldn't figure out a way to disable it though

Yeah, the swipe back/forward gestures are universal among all the pages, which is annoying, but probably exceedingly difficult to implement in pure javascript and disable in the webView.

It's not perfect but @benonymity was able to figure out a way to stop the accidental swipe right. This is in v0.9.71
