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.

(2024-06-09) slourpify: AMAZING
(2024-06-08) Mustafa Delibaşlar: It is a very nice add-on, but it occasionally causes loss of image on the screen when in full screen. There is a momentary black screen and it gets fixed. It's not a problem since it's a one-second and infrequent error, I'm sure it will be fixed in future updates. If you watch at a faster speed than x2, the sound sometimes slips.

(2024-05-30) Guy Lindvall: Works great and I prefer the location on the video vs the extension bar.
(2024-05-28) Tommie van Klaveren: Extremely useful. There is a minor bug where the playback speed sometimes randomly changes one step, but it happens rarely enough, and is well worth living with for the convenience this extension provides.

(2024-05-15) Nahid NHB: great experience . You would love it
(2024-05-14) The Comment: Simple extension to adjust YouTube videos speed on just single button press. But can the creator of this extension allow for setting any key or combination of keys for increasing, decreasing and resetting speed because the allowed options are not very convenient and often clash with the YT's inbuilt keyboard shortcuts options? If allowing any button to set is not possible then can you please add three more keys in the dropdown list and they are the two curly-braces/square-brackets keys and one pipe/slash key just below these two keys? They are all just next to the enter key on most keyboards. Thanks.

(2024-05-02) Anshuman Gupta: did good work bro
(2024-04-28) Robert Rivera: I love this extension! It works all almost all videos, not just those on YouTube. However, on the MSN site, they seem to hijack the keys pressed on the keyboard to input them into the search bar, including the "+", "-" and "*". This prevents toggling the video speed through the keyboard, and I can't seem to find a way to speed things up or slow them down there. If there was a UI window or something similar in the actual extension that could tie into the currently playing video for this functionality besides the keyboard, that'd be awesome! Other than that, fantastic extension!
(2024-04-27) ryan: Really needs a way to blacklist websites. It's very frustrating to have it speed up music at music.youtube.com!
(2024-04-12) Neil Kalman: It's a great extension! the only thing I don't like is that now on youtube, clicking + or - not only changes the subtitles' size, it also changes the speed of the video. and there's no way in the extension to disable that keyboard shortcut. would really appreciate the option to disable that key binding.
(2024-04-10) Shannon McAllister: This is the best extension I've ever used! I use it almost every time on the computer. Works exactly as described. It's probably saved me hours of time over the years.
(2024-04-07) shivam kumar: very helpful.
(2024-04-05) Kamal Raj: Very useful to increase speed with keyboard and it also remember playback speed for all Youtube videos
(2024-04-03) lemongrasscap: 10/10, the smaller mode where it just says the speed on the top right is exactly what I want.
(2024-04-01) Gaurav Kushwaha: NICE! Worked well even on youtube. It saved a lot of time of my.
