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.

The best extension for a College student wanting to consume information. I'm in medical school and can't live without this! VERY seldom does it not work -- It doesn't work on Facebook, but I'm okay with that -- facebook sucks up too much time.

Works perfectly, offering a quick and unobtrusive playback speed control. By default, any playback speed between 0.0x and 16.0x (in increments of 0.1) can be selected. I like this because the default YT player only goes up to 2x speed, even though it's capable of playing audio/video simultaneously up to speeds of 3.90x. Without extensions like this we'd have to mess around in the console to speed videos up. Ain't nobody got time for that.

As of 8/15/15, it works and it's amazing. I found this through a YouTube video.... not sure if it's required, but I disabled flash in chrome//plugins.

Ideia ótima, mas não funciona perfeitamente em todos os vídeos. especialmente os embedados. Seja do Youtube ou do Vimeo.
