Speed up, slow down, advance and rewind HTML5 audio/video with shortcuts
HTML5 video provides native APIs to accelerate playback of any video, but most implemented players either hide or limit this functionality. This extension fixes that, plus more...
It will help you optimize your video viewing by allowing you to make quick playback speed adjustments, as well as rewind the video to hear the last few second one more time. We don't read at a constant speed, and we talk much slower than we read - there is no reason why we have to listen at a constant speed and at a (very) slow rate.
Once the extension is installed simply navigate to any page that offers HTML5 video, and you'll see a speed indicator in top left corner of the video player. Hover over the indicator to reveal the controls to accelerate, slowdown, or rewind the video (10 seconds + lowers playback speed). Or, even better, use your keyboard:
- S - decrease playback speed.
- D - increase playback speed.
- R - reset playback speed.
- Z - rewind video by 10 seconds.
- X - advance video by 10 seconds.
- V - show/hide controller.
If you prefer other shortcuts, want to change the increment value, or want the player to remember your playback speed in the future, head into the settings page and customize it to your heart's content.

- (2024-01-12) Вадим Дмитриев: Спасибо! Без этого расширения смотреть Мейл Облако невозможно. p.s. Лучше добавить youtube.com в исключения, иначе могут быть глюки. Например, у меня не работала плей/пауза при нажатии пробела.

- (2023-10-25) Joel C: This is the best extension I have. It's easy to use it does what it's supposed to it's honestly great! but it's honestly ruined my life haha, I now watch almost everything at 2.5 speed, and it's creeping higher - I fear for the day that my normal video speed is in the double digits
- (2023-10-24) 김세훈: 잘작동하고 매번 껐다켜도 옵션에 저장된 값으로 불러와진다. 유튜브를 1.1 배속으로 보고있고 남들보다 10번볼때 1번 더볼수있다. 단축키도 유튭과 겹치지 않고 편함.. 다만.. 단점이 있다. 증상을 설명하기 앞서 예씨로 설명하자면. 유튭생방송을 보고있자면 1배속으로 보면 문제가 없지만. 1.1배속으로 보면 좀보다가. 0.1배속만큼 즉 미래의 촬영분 즉 데이터가 없으므로 . 다음 영상이찍힐때까지. 화면은 검게 멈춰있다가 데이터가 들오면 그때 다시 플레이 된다.. 이는 너무 당연한건데.. 문제는 게임에도 이게 적용이된다. 롤하다. 5초정도 화면이검게 정지된다. 몬헌하다가도 5초정도 검게 정지된다. 윈도우 상에서도 가끔 프레임을 미리 가져올수없으로 5초정도 화면이 검게된다. 크롬창이 켜져있으면 컴퓨터 시스템 프레임 전부를 건디는 것 같다. 그래서 지웠다. 그리고 일일이 영상볼때.. 유튭 톱니바퀴 > 재생속도 > 맞춤 설정 가면 0.5 단위로 설정할수있다... 이렇게 봐라.. 이거 그냥 단축키만 넣어주는 거 없냐.. 너무 불편한것.. 이걸 AMD 버그 리포트 에 증상을 쓰다가.. 깨닳았다.. 하나는 드라이버충돌이고 하나는 오늘 낮에본 롤드컵 라이브 방송이 끊기는 현상이 게임과 같다는걸 말이지.. 그리고 지웠더니 까끔하게 해결.. 리뷰 병가하기 위해 다시 한번 또 깔았다.. 리뷰가 도움이 되길 바라고.. 이만 마친다.

- (2023-08-31) Davii Mai: The extension doesn't remember settings (yes, I remembered to save) so I don't know what to call this other than re******. I just don't want shortcuts to interfere, so this is the one that gets the axe, adieu.
- (2023-08-20) lilli l: best ever i used

- (2023-08-17) Аня Тичинська: simple and convenient
- (2023-08-15) Sean Flesch: This is an absolutely awesome extension, but it hasn't been updated since October 2022 and there is an outstanding issue with the Netflix overlay. The keyboard commands work fine, but you can't access it with your mouse to move it. It works fine on Facebook, YouTube, Amazon, Plex, Disney+, Hulu, and so many more sites.
- (2023-08-15) Fardin Pronin: Isn't it worked for facebook video ?
