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.

So happy to find this solution to speeding up HTML5 videos on a windows 11 system with Chrome. Kudos to the developer and hopefully any bugs will be resolved over time.

I'm a long time user and want to give credit where it is due. After migrating to Linux, I wasn't able to map the same shortcut keys I've used to (localization related). I tried several other similar speed control extensions and those that weren't limited in functionality performed so sluggishly that at the end of the day I was happy to return to the trusted old tool and mapping new keys. Realizing how big differences such a relatively simple plugin can have based on implementation made me really appreciate the developer's effort. If you care about responsiveness and/or are running older hardware, I'd say you should go with this one.

Since an update months ago the current replay speed setting is very often forgotten as I am watching a video. E.g. I will first set the video speed to 1.80, then press the shortcut S a little later to reduce speed slightly, but the speed will then often revert to 0.90, instead of 1.70. So it seems to forget the current speed setting and count from 1 again. This doesn't happen every time but it does happen most of the time, after not touching the setting for a bit. This bug was introduced months ago, it used to work perfectly before.
