Youtube Playback Speed Control
Description from store

[ Added functionality for the extension to work with all html5 videos. If you are having issue with videos other than youtube, feel free to disable it from settings]
***Note: The extension auto loads for html5 videos. So please don't confuse that you have to click the extension button to load it. Lots of people were confused about how to use this extension.***

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.

Note:
- The control may not appear the first time the extension is installed or updated. Refreshing the page should make it work.
- Close the setting page after making changes for the extension to function properly.

Minimalistic and good. "You have saved 2 Days 22 Hours 00 Minutes 31.34 Seconds" it says.

I have tried multiple extensions similar to this one. But I LOVE this because it is probably the simplest to use and the one that is the most minimalist and does not take up your entire screen.
