- Laurent “Vehens” Moens
- does not work, the UI is not showing and the max speed is 2x as by default by youtube...
- SteRuh
- does not work
- Caleb Jordan
- This extension is amazing. You can speed up both videos AND ads, and because of how it plays back the video the creator still gets the same number of watch hours as if you didn't watch it at 3.2x speed.
- Henry Charpentier
- Very good, very clean. Worried it didn't work for a moment, but I just reloaded the page, and it works great.
- Gytis Petruškevičius
- When YouTube puts some features (this time- custom speed) behind the paywall, you can be sure there's an extension reenabling that feature. But damn, this is so much better implemented, the control looks clean, becomes part of the UI and allows to change speed with only one click, no need to click settings icon, than speed. SO GOOD! Can't recommend it enough
- Mr. Garber
- It works, but it forces you to 1.75 speed (ridiculously slow) or 3x (ridiculously fast) or a single custom setting only on new tab. In reality, some people speak so slow, 3x is too slow. While other people speak so fast that 2.25 is as fast as you can go. The sweat spot is variable, with .1x increments, usually between 2.2 an 2.8x, with outliers. So, I am uninstalling, and trying other options. Not useless, but not really better than nothing, unless the custom speed miiraculously matches the the pace of the speaker, how well they are microphoned, and how clearly they can articulate.

- Very Easy to install. Multiple modifiable values. Simple yet powerful configuration. Much better than youtube standard speed tool and easier to reach. And is very refined. I highly recommend you give this tool a try
- Heshan
- super...
- Damiano Magrini
- Nice and polished. Works smoothly and does not clutter the interface.
- Salmuttotabreabittlecochicarrochopotatie pie cake

- Максим
- The best extension of all, please add the ability to reset and restore speed with the “R” button.

- Athmane Benarous
- Has not worked since the introduction of YouTube's new player UI. The playback speed button simply doesn't appear.
- EMPTY VOID
- This is an amazing extension. But could you please fix the “time remaining” so that it also adjusts according to the current playback speed?
- Andrei Roman
- Edit: it wasn't working on youtube's new player this morning, but it seems to work now! I don't know what in youtube is doing but it ain't good!
- ben e
- `its a cool extension but i think you shoud add like a slider option becuase it would be easier to switch between speeds also i think max speed should be like 50 or 100 not 16 and minumum should be 0.001 also make it work with shorts
- Adarsh Shukla
- really helpful brother❤️❤️❤️😉
- Darius Beral
- Amazing extension so I can fly through hour long live streams in seconds!
- 커잇
- Recently, the extension stopped working when I open a YouTube video in a new tab, even though it still works perfectly in incognito mode. Refreshing the page (F5) doesn’t seem to help. Could you please check what might be causing this or if there’s a way to fix it? Also, it would be great if you could add an option to either remove the button at the bottom of the video or provide a smaller, simpler version of it.
- vanoushka
- 0.1x speed has come in clutch more times than I can count! Now that YouTube has updated their UI, I hope this extension also gets an update to fix the placement of the speed buttons so they don't look so out of place. That's the only thing that's gonna bug me, other than that, this extension is a 10/10
- jeffrey
- Thank you for this app. Like how the controls are built right in the Youtube controls instead of shaded up in the screen somewhere.
- Максим
- Great extension, please add the option to remove the pop-up menu and change the speed using the mouse wheel.
- First Email
- doesn't work with new youtube interface.
- Silverwing
- This app works wonderfully. I have no complaints!
- Noah S
- Hey, I'm on Windows 11, and it seems the Hold Spacebar and Hold Click on any videos to get it in 2x speed easily feature is not Functional. Please fix that, it would be very appreciated! New, I found another problem. The arrow keys which normally do this > The right arrow key Fast forward 5 seconds and the left arrow key does the same but backwards, and the up arrow key turned the volume up the down arrow key turned the volume down, the up and down functions have been removed and made the same to the Left and right arrow keys. Useless Please fix that
