• (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.

• (2024-03-10) It'sMe भुMit: nice
• (2024-03-07) Andrew Chappell: it doesn't do anything and when i try to configure the speed all it does is send me to this reviews page
• (2024-03-03) Josias Ochoa-Lozano: 5 stars
• (2024-03-02) Genc Vllahiu: It is amazing because it works with other video players
• (2024-02-26) Anonymous Ambassador: This is great but when I use the arrow up or down button for increasing volume/sound of the video it scrolls the whole page and does'nt increase or decrease the volume. A Fix would be awosome.
• (2024-02-25) Zacker Zack: just loved it
• (2024-02-25) Ayush Anand: Can you update it to work on reddit vids too? It'd be really convenient. cuz I really liked the clean UI, and implementation on yt and other websites.
• (2024-02-24) dhruvin prajapati: A very useful extension, as it helps in increasing speed more than 2.0x and also without buying premium we can skip ads by increasing the speed. A much appreciated extension.
• (2024-02-23) Sarvesh B: Works for windows 10. Also fast forwards ads and also works in other websites. I like this extension.
• (2024-02-22) Tyler Tominello: Excellent
• (2024-02-22) Joseph: Very helpful. Allows me to fast forward through uni lectures
• (2024-02-20) Pedro Santos: There's a problem when we keep clicking to increase or decrease the speed, we end up pausing the video, because the controls flashes out very quickly, and the click happens on the video, making it pause. Also, I wish i could disable speeds less than 1. I will never need to watch a video slower. A toggle button or hold button would be nice, similar to how holding spacebar makes the video 2x faster.
• (2024-02-18) ANIRUDDHA ADAK: Great , Awesome , really love it .
• (2024-02-18) Máximo González: dislike
• (2024-02-16) Jessie: It works! yay

• (2024-02-14) Harish Choudhary: Really helpful
• (2024-02-14) Maksym Yazovskij: works amazingly well, simple, fast, and lightweight
• (2024-02-11) Preyum Kumar: Mind blowing and works like a charm. Can you make a option to assign keys to the increase and decrease option instead of choosing from the limited options that will make this chrome extension the best. If not that then can you add [ and ] keys to the options as they are next to each other in all sorts of keyboards and will make the usability better without a mouse or an extended keyboard laptop.
• (2024-02-11) agentrex adventures: Quit taking me to the web store and do what you're advertised to do.
• (2024-02-10) Icarus Kid: amazing productivity extension , i used it to watch lectures and assign to keys to maros in my mouse.
• (2024-02-09) Vinícius Matos Medeiros: Funciona perfeitamente no YouTube, ainda não testei em outros sites! Pra quem deseja assistir vídeos longos rapidamente, velocidades acima de 10x!!! Recomendo demais!

• (2023-11-28, v:0.0.13) David Hettich: Caption Issue
  Love this extension. Im getting an issue that when I press the "+" and "i" buttons, youtube automatically shows me examples of the size of captions for the video. Basically, I get a text that says "Captions look like this" in reference to the size of captions. Any way this could be disabled? Thanks!
• (2023-11-04, v:0.0.13) Garrett: this extension is making youtube think I'm using a adblocker
  the only way to watch youtube is if you disable your extension for firefox. I want to use your extension yet its causing issues, I have to disable your extension until you fix the false adblock issue.
• (2023-10-27, v:0.0.13) Ghaïs: Macro problem
  Hello, I'm contacting you because I like the extension, and it lacks keyboard shortcuts (because sometimes I want to speed up certain parts of a video and I'd like to assign keys on my keyboard to directly accelerate x amount of time with the personalize keyboard.
• (2023-10-17, v:0.0.13) Bruce Krysiak: JS Console error, possible mishandled async response to runtime.sendMessage
  Hi - your extension is very helpful, thank you for the great work! I am now working with a Vue.js project and am running into this error: "Unchecked runtime.lastError: The message port closed before a response was received." I'm pretty sure it is from your extension (if I disable it, the error stops). The way to fix it is listed here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56483156 Maybe you can take a look at it and see if you can fix? Thanks again 🙂
• (2023-10-16, v:0.0.13) Colox: Speed up ads
  would it be possible to add a flag to automatically speed up to like 20x when an ad starts and revert back to the previous speed as soon as it ends? i mean i will still definitely enjoy the ad even at 30x this isn't at all a way to bypass them, i like them even more at 40x thx
• (2023-10-05, v:0.0.13) Shuayb Malik: Prevent 0.00 speed
  So every now and then i apparently set my speed to 0.00 and it then looks like youtube is just broken for me. is it possible to make it so that its impossible to go to 0.00 or perhaps give a pop-up warning saying 'Hey! You are on x0.00 speed!' Thanks!
• (2023-09-26, v:0.0.13) Jack Black: 1.03x speed
  About 70% of the time when watching Twitch live streams (and sometimes YouTube videos too), the speed will go to 1.03x which completely messes up live streams. Makes the audio sound weird and every 30 seconds or so the stream has to pause to buffer. When I click to reset it doesn't work either.
• (2023-09-04, v:0.0.13) xxAushi: Twitch Speed Problem
  Streams and vods on Twitch are auto set to .25x speed after I set it to .25 once. The save speed setting is off, and I tried reinstalling the extension twice. Only seems to happen with Twitch. I use Opera GX, latest install.
• (2023-08-03, v:0.0.13) Lars Artmann: Using deprecated DOMNodeInserted DOM Mutation Event.
  Your extension creates following warning: inject.js:1 [Deprecation] Listener added for a synchronous 'DOMNodeInserted' DOM Mutation Event. This event type is deprecated (https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#legacy-event-types) and work is underway to remove it from this browser. Usage of this event listener will cause performance issues today, and represents a risk of future incompatibility. Consider using MutationObserver instead. in src/inject/inject.js document.addEventListener("DOMNodeInserted", function(R) { var S = R.target || null; if (S && S.nodeName === "VIDEO") { new p.videoController(S); } });
• (2023-07-13, v:0.0.13) AliasD: Reverse video?
  I'm not sure if its possible, but being able to play at negative speeds and play the video in reverse would be cool!
• (2023-06-18, v:0.0.13) Азамат Таршхоев: Speed configuration
  Hello! I took off one star due to an obvious miscalculation by the developer! Why do you need to assign speed change to +/- while YouTube ALREADY has hotkeys assigned for this (Shift + , AND Shift + .)?! Why??? This is ridiculous! In addition, in your extension, you cannot assign a combination of two buttons to hotkeys to do it the way it should be DEFAULT in YouTube and how at least tens of millions of users around the world are already used to changing the speed! This is a miscalculation!

• (2023-03-26, v:0.0.13) Hand Dr. (Dr_Hand): Can I set the default playback speed?
  It is maintained when you play YouTube continuously on the same web page, but when you play it with a new window, the playback speed is reduced. Please let me know if there's any other way
• (2023-03-21, v:0.0.13) Antoine LENCI: Impossible to play videos
  Hello, Under Google Chrome, it is impossible to play videos (especially YouTube) when the extension is activated. At first I didn't know what was causing the problem so I started deleting extensions until it worked and it turns out that it's your extension that makes it impossible to play videos.
• (2023-03-11, v:0.0.13) Abdelrahman Abounegm: Error message in console of all pages
  I'm a web developer, and so I use the console very often. It is annoying that this extension logs the following error on every single page: `Unchecked runtime.lastError: The message port closed before a response was received` I was able to single it out by disabling extensions one by one, and it seems like the error is coming from this extension.

• (2023-02-17, v:0.0.13) SMB: Feature Request
  Hey could you add '[', ']', '=' to the options for increasing, decreasing and resetting video speed cause like those are the shortcuts in VLC media player so i think a lot of people would like that. if its open source i can just do it myself do you have a github?

• (2023-01-28, v:0.0.13) Blu Puffer: Not working now
  0.0.13 broke the extension on my system. I can set the playback speed, but after a few seconds it drops it back to normal speed. I see nothing in setting to address this and have no idea how to get it working now.
• (2022-03-11, v:0.0.8) Evelyn Farfellwooosh: Speed 2x by default
  Hi, It's all working well until recently this 3/11/2022, it played all YouTube videos 2x speed by default, I can't modify the default settings, the speed keeps turning into default 2x speed when doing any actions. even when I disabled this it still keep speeding up the videos. I hope this is fix
• (2022-02-23, v:0.0.8) Jannis: Widget not launching sometimes
  Hi, your widget for Chrome worked extremely well. However, since a week weeks ago it does not always launch properly. e.g. I am on the home page of Youtube, click on a video and it does NOT play with the 1.5x speed it should. Also in the top right corner, the speed control widget is not shown. Only once I reload the video (F5) it shows up properly and automatically plays back with the right speed. What is causing this issue and how can I fix it? THanks
• (2022-02-20, v:0.0.8) Viternick Viterner: Make it for android phone
  Can you make this work for android phone? Can you tell us what to do? I think i installed it on desktop version of chrome on android but when i play a youtube video with desktop version no speed control is visible in top right corner.
• (2022-02-18, v:0.0.8) Harris: Subtitles don't match speed
  Using the extension to speed up or slow down video will not change the subtitle timing on videos. However, subtitle timing matches with the video if the speed is selected through the actual player (which defeats the purpose of the extension).
• (2022-02-14, v:0.0.8) gr0undc0ntrol: Disable settings icon makes the speed buttons not center any more
  Great extension. Only problem is that if I disable the settings icon and choose the speed buttons to be "bottom center", then they will not be centered any more if the settings button is disabled. The CSS needs to be fixed somehow so that if the settings button is disabled the speed buttons are still centered. Thanks.

• (2022-01-28, v:0.0.8) Sharon Lougheed: Option to save speed per video
  I enjoy listening to certain songs at a faster speed, but some songs sound better faster/slower than others. Also other videos are just faster/slower in general. It'd be nice to have a list of YouTube video IDs with speeds that override whatever we set as our default speed. A button to save a video's speed would be nice, but even just an input box expecting video IDs separated by newlines/commas/something hidden away in the settings page would be great. Thanks!
• (2022-01-19, v:0.0.8) Mike Duckwall: Not working anymore

• (2022-01-12, v:0.0.8) Ben Weiss: Playback panel doesn't always show up at first when set to Hide/Show
  Since the September 2021 update, sometimes when I click a video (usually opening in a new tab with middle click but also sometimes just a regular left click) the playback speed panel will not be displayed. The hotkeys will still work. To fix this issue, I just refresh the page and then it always works the second time.

• (2021-11-21, v:0.0.8) Thomas Reese: Hard to use on touch screen only devices
  I made a fix locally to expand controls on touch (don't expand when using mouse). Would be great to add to the main extension, adding a setting as well. Code, if you want it: https://github.com/Gibolt/YoutubeSpeedExtension
• (2021-11-18, v:0.0.8) Tedro: Google drive support
  Love this extension! The only thing I crave is for it to work with videos saved on google drive, which are played by a similar video player as youtube has.
• (2021-11-07, v:0.0.8) Quanti: Shortcut
  - and + keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work half the time. Reloading fixes the issue. Might be a focus problem. Please look into it, thanks!

• (2021-03-01, v:0.0.6) Maks Develov: The number in the Playback Panel does not change, although the speed is adjustable
  Great extension. But for several months now, there has been a problem - the number in the Playback Panel does not change, although the speed is regulated. I noticed that this problem occurs when I connect another popular extension for learning English 'eJOY English - Learn with Movies'.
