User Reviews: Accelerate for Safari

Top reviews

  • Great app

    I really like all the customization options including shortcuts, where the notification is, and the interval that speed is adjusted at.

    I was really worried that this extension wouldn't allow me to adjust speed in 0.1 or 0.05 increments, but it does! Just click on the keyboard shortcut for adjusting speed in the settings, and you can also change the interval of adjustment. Thanks so much for including that feature!
  • This does what you want and does it well!

    Update: wow I feel dumb, be sure to hit "enter" after changing any values, guys!
    This little app reliably starts and has all the options you need! Highly recommend! Thanks also to the developer for being responsive and helpful!

    Hi! In order to save any changes after editing one of the speed textfields, could you try pressing the Enter/Return key?
  • Finally found something that works :)

    I have stayed in other browsers because I could not find a good extension for default video playback speed, and good shortcuts. This finally allows me to ditch the other browsers. Thank you!
  • Good but some settings won't save

    This app works well but the Default playback speed, minimum playback speed, and maximum playback speed settings will not save after being edited. This isn't the biggest deal, since I can just add a shortcut toggle to go to my preferred playback speed quickly on startup (1.75x), but it would be nice to set the default for all videos to be that fast and instead toggle down to 1x when needed. All other settings are saving properly, and I tried restarting both Safari and my whole computer before writing this review so I don't think it is user error.

  • wonderful extension

    I watch almost everything in 2X or even 3x. Therefore when there is a video that I can't control going 1x it is very frustrating to me. Sounds like it's in slo-mo. So I am super happy to have found this app that will help me listen most all the videos in 2x at least. I need to look and see if I can go up to 3X yet. If not I hope they offer that feature somday :)
  • MacOS ver.: VGood, iOS ver.: Default Settings only

    Again, great implementation on MacOS, but since I started using the iDevice variant, a) every input setting on the General app tab refuses to acknowledge changes to the playback speed multipliers or increment; on the Shortcuts app tab b) every created shortcut ignores user input and reverts to DEFAULT settings, and c) every Standard shortcut that is edited either resists editing entirely or replaces the Standard shortcut with the Default values from a newly created shortcut (in order to preserve the Standard shortcuts, the app must be clean re-installed).
    If the speed notification corner or the Keyboard shorts in the Standard shortcuts were in conflict with our workflow, I'd have to find another solution. Thankfully, the Standard shortcuts and General settings are tolerable. thx
  • Does everything I need

    I used the Video Speed Controller extension for Chrome, but ever since switching to Safari, Accelerate is the perfect replacement! Love it ❤️
  • Love this functionality

    Definitely need this plugin to make safari usable.
  • It Works

    Worked like a charm first time! No more boring, slow videos for me! I plan on dancing on my future grave with all the time I'm saving - thank you!
  • Setting for max playback speed doesn't work
