About ytSpeedControl
ytSpeedControl lets you pick a YouTube playback speed that actually sticks - and set different speeds for individual channels.
WHAT IT DOES
• One click on the toolbar icon opens a clean popup with +/- buttons and quick presets: 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 / 175 / 200%.
• + and - adjust the current video by 5% and remember the rate for next time.
• Pick “All of YouTube” for a global default, or “Only this channel” to save a per-channel rule.
• The toolbar icon shows the active speed right on the icon, so you always know what’s applied.
WHY YOU’LL LIKE IT
• Per-channel exceptions - crank lectures to 1.75×, keep music at 1× automatically.
• Works on watch, Shorts and Live pages.
• Settings sync through your Chrome account, so your speeds follow you to every device.
• No account, no tracking, no ads. The extension talks only to youtube.com.

PERMISSIONS
