Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

HTML5 video provides native APIs to accelerate playback of any video, but most implemented players either hide or limit this functionality. This extension fixes that, plus more...

It will help you optimize your video viewing by allowing you to make quick playback speed adjustments, as well as rewind the video to hear the last few second one more time. We don't read at a constant speed, and we talk much slower than we read - there is no reason why we have to listen at a constant speed and at a (very) slow rate.

Once the extension is installed simply navigate to any page that offers HTML5 video, and you'll see a speed indicator in top left corner of the video player. Hover over the indicator to reveal the controls to accelerate, slowdown, or rewind the video (10 seconds + lowers playback speed). Or, even better, use your keyboard:

- S - decrease playback speed.

- D - increase playback speed.

- R - reset playback speed.

One of the best extensions of all time. Saves a ton of time, makes watching videos tolerable again. If you are used to podcasts at 2x, this plugin is a life saver.

I have to concur with other recent reviewers that this is indeed the best extension ever and has saved me huge amounts of time processing audio files with the configurability to change the audio step period and the value of the FFWD and RWD speeds. Thank you so much for providing this and please do not stop updating it! I don't use it for video but instead for mp3 files and not only does it work with remote hosted files but you can drag and drop local mp3 files into the browser bar and it works for those too. This is better than VLC imho because VLC only allows a max speed increase of 4.0x before the audio goes silent. This one keeps the audio running all the way to max which makes processing files that are hours long take less than 10 mins! Incredible.

I miss the feature that would let the lowest speed be 0.06. 0.25 is too fast if I want to watch something frame by frame

THIS EXTENSION CHANGED MY LIFE. Watching my video lectures for class is so much more enjoyable. Exactly 1.70 times more enjoyable. It also let's me fast forward through boring YouTube intros and unnecessary dialog. THANK YOU!

Stopped working? I can't see the overlay and keys don't work for Youtube or daily motion or any other website I tried.
