About ViewMaster
🎬 ViewMaster — YouTube Speed & Quality Controller
Stop adjusting your YouTube settings on every single video. ViewMaster remembers your preferences and applies them automatically — every time, on every video.
🚀 What Is ViewMaster?
ViewMaster is a lightweight Chrome extension that automatically sets your preferred playback speed and video quality on YouTube. Whether you're a student trying to get through lectures faster, a professional catching up on webinars at 1.5x, or someone who just wants crisp 1080p without clicking through menus every time — ViewMaster handles it all silently in the background.
🔁 Smart Override Detection If you manually change the speed or quality mid-video, ViewMaster respects your choice for that session and reapplies your saved defaults only when the next video loads. You stay in control.
💾 Persistent Settings Your preferences are stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage. No sign-up, no account, no cloud sync — just your settings, right where you left them.
🪶 Lightweight & Private ViewMaster runs only on YouTube pages. It collects zero personal data, makes no external network requests, and requires no unnecessary permissions. Your browsing stays private.
🔒 Privacy First
ViewMaster is completely transparent:
No data collection — no analytics, no tracking, no telemetry.
No external servers — all logic runs locally in your browser.
Minimal permissions — only storage (to save your settings) and access to youtube (to apply them).
