- (2024-01-17) Kevin: Edit: Works fine now, unsure if it was an update or something fixed by my factory reset. Either way, works! Didn't work by "default" but getting it to run on click is consistent and still saves time and hassle.

- (2023-09-03) Ruth Court: It was perfect, but started to reset to 1x often. And also you can't set a shortcut to activate the extension. anyone know another extension that let you set default speed for videos? possibly on every video of any websites including netflix, vimeo etc?

- (2023-08-31) James Ferguson: I love this extension, only gripe I have is it resets to 1x quite often, maybe if the default start speed where 2x since that is what we have the extension for that would solve the issue mostly. I usually use 3x but would likely not notice 2x. And then again maybe that is worse, I don't know, since at 1x I notice immediately and at 2x I might not notice.

- (2023-08-17) George: Probably the best current option, but it's not perfect. On restarting my computer, the extension forgets the speed you set it and resets to 1x. It also overrides the YouTube playback speed from the previous video you played, yet doesn't update the YouTube interface, meaning 6 unnecessary clicks are needed if you wanted to go back to the speed you used for the last video.

- (2023-06-28) Dmytro Suvorov: A nice extension, I would like to set default playback speed per channel too. (I can watch videos in my native language waaay faster than in English, for example).

- (2022-11-04) Somewhat Boxes: mostly does what it says, but lately it seems to reset itself at arbitrary intervals so that the default speed goes back to 1x

- (2021-09-16) Mark Schemel: I asked my man Noah to implement a feature so that you don't have the default playback speed (eg. for me 1.5x) enabled on live streams, because they kinda break an bugg then. So I wrote him a mail via 'contact the developer' and guess what HE JUST ADDED THE FEATURE ON REQUEST. Thank you Noah
