No clutter, no extra toolbars – just a quick way to change playback speed and keep it that way. Features • Native-style speed button – appears next to the existing YouTube controls, looks and feels like part of the player. • Quick speed menu – open a compact menu with common playback speeds and switch in one click. • Remembers your preference – your last chosen speed is automatically applied to new videos. • Works across navigation – designed to handle YouTube’s dynamic navigation without needing to reload the page. • Lightweight by design – no ads, no popups, no options overload. How to use 1. Install the extension. 2. Open any video on YouTube. 3. Look for the new speed icon in the player controls. 4. Click it and choose the playback speed you want. Permissions storage – used only to save your preferred playback speed so it can be reused for future videos. https://www.youtube.com/* – the extension runs only on YouTube pages to integrate with the video player.
