- I use this for youtube music to speed up the song and pitch. works perfect every time :)
- Dipper The Fox
- For some reason, when i use the extension the tab says "This tab's content is being shared"... suspicious.
- Vanguard Voltara
- This is a wonderful extension that can speed not only embedded videos but also embedded simple audio players on any website. All the other speed controllers I have found in the extension work only with videos but not with simple audio players. I thank God for the developer who wrote this! Because I primarily want to change the audio playback speeds on certain sites. Simple, elegant, and very user friendly!

- i love you who ever made this
- Parental Guidance
- Wow. I am blown away by how amazing this extension is. You can speed up or slow down videos, change the volume of videos, the pitch, the colours/brightness/contrast/etc, along with a few other things. It is incredible and I am glad I chose this specific extension. Plus, there are no ads and your data is not shared with a bunch of third parties, etc. If you notice the video not going full screen: click the full screen button on your video and then press F11 (F11 is a key bind for full screen in chrome). Great job to the developer/developers. Keep up the great work :)

- This extension is a godsend. It works across every website. You name the service, this one extension will control its speed. The only minor irritation I have with it is that after you adjust the speed, it doesn't minimize itself. That said, you can bypass this by creating your own hotkeys.
- Mister eks
- LOVE this extention!!! but one thing, how do u disable that the extention remembers the speed last used for all tabs???
- Aidan DVD recorder 2010
- very good programme but can you fix Suno, the pitch is weird for some reason when I go to that website to make my remix and stuff
- Tiny Shoken
- Hands down the best extension I've added. So damn useful with the customization of time skips and saved marks etc. 100% would recommend, so happy with it! :D
- Ryan Zhao
- Super!!!!!!!!! F*k bd!
- Rockleeper
- I really really love this extension!! 💘 I don't know if it would be possible to add the option to draw on PDF? I often draw equations or drawings over YouTube videos, and I've gotten too used to the UX. It pains me not to be able to do the same with lecture notes or annotations. Thank you for your time😊
- M A
- 10/10. UX poor, but the extension is best of a kind in this category!! highly recommended. works everywhere, with streams and videos!
- Khadijeh kohan
- so perfect.thank you
- Nathaniel
- Super easy to use once you set the hotkeys, can't watch videos without it now. One thing though, could you add a customizable speed "limit"? Like if I set a limit of x2, you need to press the keys again to increase it further x2. It’d be very handy for when you mostly keep the speed under x2.

- Got this just for the audio equalizer settings. Very powerful controls even with just a 10 band equalizer. great for music with B & W PX 7 headphones. To get to the audio settings click on the Global Speed extension, then select the audio speaker icon (yes you would think its a toggle mute button but its not). Scroll down the list to the bottom and the default 10 bands are shown. set the equalizer the way you want then adjust the POW (gain boost). sliding to the right to increase. The only downside is that videos dont go full screen with this extension (full screen video but the top and bottom browser bars are still shown. A work around is to press F11 key to force full screen. Overall one of the best audio equalizer addons for chrome.
- Bols Akame
- Really great extension. Will you please add video screenshot?
- n-iyo
- Alas, since the media list and thus PiP view is no longer accessible for the browser I use, I cannot give it full score anymore, but the speeding/slowing feature is still very useful.
- Rocky Mccarter
- Hi, just tweaking around, any way to run shortcuts from another tab (e.g. google), to the currently playing video, without affecting other video tabs?
- Dominic Parisi
- one problem with the reverse audio filter: it ONLY reverses the audio NOT the video I'm watching make it a slider not a button that MURDERS my finger when i wanna reverse audio
- E Y (Evoljay)
- The best, like nothing else....
- Richard
- Use this every day in Brave browser, but now it's stopped working on Youtube.
- Parth Ponkiya
- I was using a video speed controller extension for the last few years, but suddenly, Amazon Prime Video started showing a blank screen (no video, only audio) when that extension was enabled. Searched and tried a few other extensions, but this is the best, exactly what I needed with customizable shortcut keys. Huge thanks to developers for this.
- Otis Brisket
- I am in love
- Luan Silva
- it worked with prime video after the started to show black screen for other video speed extension
- Daniel Connelly
- Absolutely nothing wrong with this extension. The developer is even still updating it...
- Kenny A. (StrawberryKittens)
- hi i'm a huge fan of this extension and i enjoy using it, but all of a sudden, it stopped working. do you think you could fix it for me, please? edit: it's working perfectly fine now
- LaQuan Wunderman
- Awesome, I’m starting to get used to the options, but there’s still one thing I can’t figure out: Could you add a shortcut toggle to loop all videos, possibly with a permanent indicator showing if looping is on or off? Or sorry — is there already a way to do this?
- Khaleesi Sanes
- Doesn't work in fullscreen
- Çağrı Kütükoğlu
- Not working... 9.04.2025 I'll update my review as soon as you fix it.
- steam motive
- you can even make adds go faster, which I like
- James leon
- Would it be possible on youtube to set normal speed for music videos and increased speed (1.5x) for all other videos? Any way to only recognize music videos and disable a set speed?
- Andrew
- I use this extension to brighten video on Netflix . It works fantastic
- Cody McAllister
- Very good, although the speed setting does not work on looptube.io (My preferred video site). The site does use YouTube videos to work so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Might update this review once I've used it some more. Video filters, although I don't plan on using them much, don't work on the site, even when inputting the "video, img" text in the query.
- DG Kari
- Doen't work in "whatsapp web" any more.
- Harry Vossos
- Fantastic extension. Can use to control picture in picture videos using global shortcuts that work in other apps. 5 stars
- Anton Korniychuk
- Best of the best! I also dream to integrate it with Vimium to have leader_key-driven shortcuts. And also I dream about implementing something like "whichkey" vim's plugin for both of them (vimium + Global Speed).
- Jean Gianni
- Can you please add number keys to skip around the video, just like on youtube?
- KirK Lazarus
