YouTube Speed Controller

Take full control of how fast YouTube plays — without fighting the player. YouTube Speed Controller lets you set any playback speed on YouTube, including speeds beyond the built-in 2× limit, with one-click presets, an exact value you type in, a draggable on-screen badge, and keyboard shortcuts that never clash with YouTube's own keys. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Custom speeds beyond 2× — use presets or type an exact value, up to 10×. • Per-context defaults — separate default speeds for normal videos, Shorts, Music, and live streams. • Optional per-channel memory — "always watch this channel at X" (opt-in, stored locally). • Natural-sounding audio — voice pitch is preserved by default, so 2× doesn't sound like chipmunks. One click turns it off. • Remappable keyboard shortcuts — defaults (Alt+. faster, Alt+, slower, Alt+0 reset) avoid every native YouTube key and never fire while you're typing in search or comments. • Subtle on-screen badge — draggable, auto-hiding, remembers its position, works in theater and fullscreen, and can be turned off entirely. • Survives navigation & ads — re-applies your chosen speed when YouTube swaps the video on navigation or after an ad. It never blocks or skips ads; it simply restores your speed when your content resumes. • Native menu integration — adds beyond-2× entries to YouTube's own speed menu when possible; everything still works if it can't.
