About ToolBreezy.com - Video Speed Controller & Playback Speed
Change the speed of any video with one key. Works on sites whose own player has no
speed control, or caps it at 2x.
- S slower, D faster, R reset. That is the interface.
- Z back 10 seconds, X forward 10 seconds, without hunting for the scrubber
- Twelve speeds from 0.25x to 4x, in even steps, no dragging a slider
- Remembers a different speed per site, 2.5x on your course platform, 1x on
Netflix, automatically
- Works inside shadow DOM, which is where a lot of modern players hide
- Works inside embedded players, which is how most course sites serve video
- Counts the time you have saved, which is more than you would guess
- Off on video calls, because changing playback rate there breaks the call
WHY IT WORKS WHERE OTHERS APPEAR DEAD
Setting the speed is the easy part. Finding the video is the hard part, and it is
why speed controllers so often seem to do nothing. This walks shadow roots, which
ordinary page queries cannot cross, watches for players that appear after the page
loads, and reaches into embedded frames. When there genuinely is no video, it says
so and says why, instead of sitting there doing nothing.
PRIVACY
Three permissions: local storage for your speed preferences, and activeTab plus
scripting so that clicking the icon can reach the tab you are looking at. No
access to any other site, and none at all until you click.
It looks at pages to find video and audio elements, and does nothing else with
them. No servers, no account, no analytics, no network requests at all.
