About Disable YouTube 2x Speed

Google Extension disable YouTube 2x Extends YouTube’s default playback controls by removing the “hold to 2x speed” shortcut so you can focus on watching without accidental speed changes. Features Disables the 2x speed acceleration gesture that appears when you long-press the playback controls. Keeps the rest of YouTube’s interface untouched so you still benefit from its native layout. Lightweight and privacy-friendly—no network calls or tracking. Usage Once loaded, the extension works automatically—no buttons or settings required.
