WHY VELOCITY Built as a fast, actively maintained, Manifest V3 replacement for the classic video speed controller extensions that were abandoned or removed. Lightweight (~15 KB), zero dependencies, open about everything it does. — Shortcuts are fully configurable in Settings. Works on Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers. ## Permission justifications (CWS dashboard) - **storage**: saves the user's speed preferences and settings locally/sync. - **content script <all_urls>**: the extension's single purpose is controlling playback speed of videos on any site the user visits; it must run where videos are. ## Single purpose statement Velocity controls the playback speed and volume of HTML5 media on pages the user visits. ## Screenshots to take (1280×800) 1.
