Image from store Youtube Playback Speed Control

Description from store Youtube playback speed increase or decrease is just a mouse click or keyboard button away. Get more out of Youtube and control speed of youtube video easily either by clicking the speed overlay button on the top right hand corner or just keyboard button '+' and '-'. Keyboard button are configurable and if you want to use different key, you can change this default keys from settings tab. With HTML5 Video playback on YouTube, you can speed up and slow down the currently watching videos. I loved this feature. But still it was too many mouse clicks for me. So, this extension was created to control the playback speed using keyboard. Press '+' to increase the playback speed and '-' to decrease the playback speed. If '+' and '-' keys are already used by other extension or you want to use different key, you can change this default keys from settings tab. This extension even works for the HTML5 YouTube player embedded in other website. Make sure that the player is in focus. A website can embed multiple YouTube player and the keyboard shortcuts will effect the currently playing one. Everything works no change needed. Please check extension options for more setting options. You can change playback rate increment from default 0.25 to any desired increment. ★ Youtube Playback Speed Control - Version 0.0.6 - Removed the need to access to full browser history. - Fixed the shortcut assigned for speed up and down are not taken into account and reset to "0" issue. - Added more control over position of playback rate increase/decrease button.

(2021-04-23) Bokeh13: I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I really love it! At first, I was a bit worried about the shortcut keys, but the default keys turned out to be very intuitive for me. Having keyboard shortcuts makes it extremely easy to use. I can now watch more YouTube videos in less time. (Scanning through sponsor spots and boring parts at 16x!).

(2021-04-05) Ralph oPinion: God Bless you for making this!
(2021-03-31) Igor Fomenko: Please do the same for rewind increment. By default it is 10 seconds and there is no way to reduce it. Please add this feature.

(2021-03-01) Aryan Singh: This extension is awesome but when I use it on linux ubuntu 20.04 lts and use youtube on chrome, this does not allow me to run videos on anything but 1x. I hope you will sort out this bug.
(2021-02-27) dew cec: jj
(2021-02-25) Marcus Liber: does what it says and does it good.
(2021-02-23) Tonguç Bodur: Hayat kurtarıcı. Life saver.
(2021-02-18) Andrew Henderson: Used to be my preferred speed control app, but recently I had a bug where it started to play the video (but not audio) incredibly sped up (like 10x speed, best I can tell). Disabled the app and it worked fine. Enabled other speed control apps, and those worked fine. Disappointing that this bug appeared, as I quite liked it before.
(2021-02-08) Moshe Tzarfati: not working
(2021-02-06) Miles Waugh: Very easy to use, works very well, doesn't block much of the page at all, speed change extends infinitely in the positive direction (as far as I can tell) for when 2x speed is not fast enough.
(2021-02-03) xAushi: GREAT FOR ADHD AM ALWAYS ON AT LEAST 2.5 THANK YOU,
(2021-02-01) Rodrigo Spalidoro: Simple and complete at the same time.
(2021-01-31) 이정한: Good. Very useful to me.
(2021-01-21) August Vorsterman van Oijen: Must have extension
(2021-01-20) Ryan McClelland: The shift scroll feature is killer.
(2021-01-14) Alberto Herrera: Love this extension. Very useful and easy to use with a single button press, only downside for me is how caption size is also bound to + and pops up. Hardly worth mentioning though since this add on lets me play videos extremely quick, my internet being the only limiting factor to 8x speed.
(2021-01-13) Bartosz Przybylski: The extension is great, especially for the movies when movies pace is extremely slow.
(2021-01-12) Google User: YouTube already has 1.25 speed by default, why would I need plugin for that? I need incremental of 10% not 25%, which is I need 1.10x speed (like VLC Player) and I cannot do it with this extension or any other on chrome web store. Can you please make that available? 1.25 is too fast for some videos.
(2021-01-12) teddy boragina: does what it says it does
(2021-01-07) Dwayne Robinson: My goodness, this saves so much time, a single click to set to 2x instead of clicking (1) once to open the menu, moving down, (2) clicking to access the speed list, then finally (3) clicking again to set 2x. Then you've got those slow talkers who just want to waste ... our ... time ... talking ... like ... this. 🤦‍♂️ 3x to the rescue!
(2021-01-06) 박무호: 죽여주는 확장프로그램!
(2021-01-01) Mehmet Kozan: Thanks, please add default playback speed.
(2020-12-20) Pruthvil Thakor: best

(2020-12-16) Huazhong Ning: can no do that
(2020-12-16) Yer Her: It was working fine but now its dead. Feels like a virus and all video are playing at a set faster speed that can't be adjusted
(2020-12-12) koalasevmeyenkola: i wish there was a shortcut assignment too, like pause/play shortcut on enter key.(on the numeric side)
(2020-12-11) Luis S. Celadita Contreras: 3X FTW!
(2020-12-09) Eduard Liring: Очень полезное расширение, я теперь большую часть роликов смотрю на скорости 1.75 и только музыку на 1 скорости, с этим расширением к такому режиму просмотра проще привыкнуть и это сильно экономит время
(2020-12-04) DIVYANSH RASTOGI: Does what it says, just want to point out that using '+' or '-' keys to increase and decrease speed changes the font size of captions. Tried on Youtube website only
(2020-12-01) H C: I use it whenever I watch youtube videos. Perfect for speeding up people who can't talk at blazing fast speeds.
(2020-11-29) Deformer CR: Does what it says, and does it perfectly. It's just perfect.
(2020-11-28) mission paudel: this is a very good extension the only thing I could suggest is if you could slow down the video more
(2020-11-25) The Seeker: Superb Extension. Very Helpful.
(2020-11-23) Shouin Nelson: Almost perfect!! One shortfall. Currently, you can set a shortcut to reset the playback speed to 1x. Mine is set to the g key. However, there are no shortcut settings available for frequently used presets. I generally watch video @ 2x, but sometimes I might even go with 3x, it would be good if there were options to set a preset shortcut or two or even make it so that a second press of the reset shortcut would restore the previous speed.
(2020-11-19) Yi Yan: 實用，畫面乾淨，可調整設定
(2020-11-16) Duncan M: Saved over a day with the extension, watching everything at 1.4x, love it!
(2020-11-05) Krishang Peddi: This is the best!!!!!! It even controls the speed of ads so I don't have to wait 5 seconds or more. It decreases a 2 minute ad to less than 5 seconds. It saves a lot of time
(2020-11-04) Radha Valaboju: This is nice to have. Just installed and used it to run a video at 2.5 and 2.75 times. Thank you.

I have bookmarklet that add textarea and when I type in textarea create on the page it trigger the shortcuts for the extension.

(2020-04-14, v:0.0.6) Jenny Stockbridge: incremental speed control in Youtube
Is the ANY way I can use this extension (chrome/Windows 10 PC) to control speeds more incrementally than 25%. I am hard of hearing and am watching youtubes for hours a day to learn to sign. I need to slow/speed-up in MAX of 5% increments. E.g. 100% is way to fast for me to learn and 75% is painfully slow. HELP! ASL/signing is a visual/gestural language which makes video learning a godsend, esp during this tele-learning (corona virus) ramp up. THANKS!
(2020-04-06, v:0.0.6) mytommy: CPU spikes to 100%

(2020-03-29, v:0.0.6) azuox: Different pitch at certain speeds
Between the range of 0.95 to 1.05, the pitch gets lower/higher if you change the speed of the video. this wasn't an issue on earlier versions, I'm hoping this gets fixed.
(2020-03-06, v:0.0.6) Timothy Krenz: .95 and 1.05 speeds affect audio
the .95 speed lowers the pitch of audio while 1.05 raises the pitch of audio. the sound of other speeds is unaffected
(2020-03-06, v:0.0.6) Timothy Krenz: Version 0.0.6 causing stuttering

(2020-02-20, v:0.0.6) B Lynn: Was it intentional for the add-in to disable annotations?
I have noticed a few times while watching YouTube videos that the presenter will point to a corner and mention that there will be a link for a play-list or another video, but the connections never show. I had assumed I had turned off the annotations, but I just looked and the setting is active. [I don't usually use the annotations any how so it is not a big deal for me; I just noticed so I figured I'd ask if it was intentional. *** Thank you for this add-in I like it a lot & tell people about it all the time. ***

(2020-01-29, v:0.0.5) Wilker Foureaux: disable hotkeys

(2019-08-08, v:0.0.5) Erick Paquin: shortcut assigned for speed up and down are not taken into account and reset to "0".
For now I am using the overlay to switch the speeds, which is great nonetheless. But whenever I try to assign shortcuts (up arrow for speed up, down arrow for speed down) it doesn't work and most of all, all these settings go back to number 0 when I go back. Tried restarting the browser (latest chrome on windows 10) but nothing changed. Just letting you know. Cheers, Erick P.
(2019-06-30, v:0.0.5) Maik Hannemann: Position of the on-screen-controls

(2019-06-21, v:0.0.5) Zorn Taov: Blacklist user selected sites
Having this on and forgetting about it causes video syncing sites like cytube to freak out, as every 5 seconds the video suddenly jumps backwards to stay in pace with everyone else watching, as cytube does it's syncing every 5 seconds.
