Channel Speed Memory for YouTube™

Control YouTube playback speed per channel! Channel Speed Memory for YouTube™ automatically remembers your preferred playback speed for every YouTube channel you watch and applies it seamlessly the moment you start playing a video. Do you like watching fast-paced educational videos at 1.75x or 2.0x, but prefer music videos, tutorials, or documentaries at 1.0x or 1.25x? This extension remembers your choice automatically for each specific channel. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ Automatic Speed Memory Whenever you adjust the playback speed—using YouTube's native player menu, keyboard shortcuts (Shift + > / Shift + <), or the extension popup—your speed preference is instantly remembered for that channel. ⚡ Instant Channel Switching Switching between channels? The extension immediately detects the new channel and applies your custom speed without delay or manual interaction. ⚡ Native Player Sync Seamlessly synchronizes with YouTube's HTML5 video player and internal settings menu. The native player gear menu stays completely in sync with your active playback rate. ⚡ In-Player HUD Notification A clean, unobtrusive pill notification appears momentarily at the top right of the video (e.g. "⚡ Veritasium: 1.75x Applied") so you always know your custom speed is active. (Can be toggled on/off in Settings). ⚡ Smart Ad & Transition Protection Prevents YouTube's internal player resets and ad playback from overriding or corrupting your saved channel speeds. ⚡ Full-Featured Extension Popup • Active Video Tab: View active channel, current speed, quick preset buttons (0.75x, 1.0x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2.0x), and fine-tune steppers (±0.05x). • Saved Channels Tab: Search, filter, and manage all remembered channels with individual speed badges and delete buttons. • Settings Tab: Set your fallback default playback speed, customize or disable HUD notifications, and export/import your settings as a JSON backup. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS SUPPORTED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Shift + > : Increase playback speed • Shift + < : Decrease playback speed Any adjustment made via keyboard shortcuts is automatically captured and saved for the current channel! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY FIRST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • 100% Local: All settings and channel preferences are stored strictly on your device using Chrome's local storage (chrome.storage.local). • Zero Tracking: No analytics, no telemetry, and no tracking scripts. • No Remote Servers: The extension makes zero external network requests. • Open Source: Fully open source under the MIT License. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ YouTube™ is a trademark of Google LLC.
