About SpeedHold: Hold to Speed Up
Speed through the slow parts without losing your focus.
Standard video speed controls are clunky. Clicking through settings menus just to get past a long pause, a slow intro, or a tedious section disrupts your viewing experience. SpeedHold provides a seamless, practical solution to this problem with a dead-simple mechanic: Hold to hurry. Release to return.
Whether you are skimming a lecture, watching a tutorial, or just trying to get to the good part, SpeedHold gives you on-demand momentum without ever having to touch your mouse.
✨ Key Features
•⚡ Instant Acceleration: Press and hold your chosen hotkey to immediately jump to your preferred fast-forward speed.
•🛑 Seamless Snap-Back: Release the key, and the video instantly drops back to normal speed. No fumbling to change it back.
•⚙️ Fully Customizable: Set your ideal "Hold Speed" (e.g., 2x, 2.5x, 3x) and choose the exact hotkey that feels most comfortable for your workflow.
•🌐 Universal Compatibility: Works smoothly across standard HTML5 video players on your favorite sites.
•🪶 Lightweight & Fast: Built for pure performance, it runs quietly in the background without slowing down your browser.
🚀 How to use it
1. Install the extension.
2. Click the SpeedHold icon in your extension toolbar to set your preferred trigger key and speed.
3. Start watching a video, hold the key when you want to skip ahead, and release when you're done!
🔒 Privacy First
SpeedHold is designed to respect your data. It requires minimal permissions, does not track your browsing history, and does not collect personal information. It simply runs locally to control your video playback.
