### 5/5 — YouTube

*2026-07-11, version 2.2.1*

Speed

### 4/5 — Very Useful!

*2026-06-19, version 2.2.0*

Good app but the UI could use some work. It would be great to be able to add pre-set options other than .5-2x

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-05-11, version 2.2.0*

Nice and simple, especially with the customisable speed that can be typed in. Only doesn’t seem to work the best on some sites other than yt

### 5/5 — Works

*2026-04-03, version 2.2.0*

Would appreciate 4.0 and 6.0 speed.

### 4/5 — Trouble With YouTube

*2026-03-18, version 2.2.1*

Playing YouTube videos and VK videos (a Russian video website) slower than 0.25x doesn’t work. Why? Are there any other video websites where this app doesn’t work on them? Other times, this app stops working, completely, for any site, but deleting this app and then getting this app, again, takes care of this problem. Overall, I like this app.

### 3/5 — Mostly perfect with issues

*2026-02-03, version 2.2.1*

YouTube shorts and Instagram reels can’t be played if enabled before starting the video

### 5/5 — YouTube

*2026-01-30, version 2.2.1*

Premium

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-01-24, version 2.2.1*

I clicked allow on everything and enabled the extension. I opened YouTube and there was no speed player to be found. I tried the auto speed through the app and the vid still played at normal speed. Simply does not work at all.

### 5/5 — A **Required** extension for me

*2026-01-21, version 2.2.0*

This extension is my must-have for most in-browser video. Just use the keyboard shortcuts to quickly play at 2x, 2.5x, 3x or more. Saves time and sanity! And YT is not capped at 2x (YMMV on other sites.)

IDK how long I’ve been using this extension for, but it’s become an absolute necessity for any site with video. Ever had to put up with people speaking REALLY *** SLOWLY in videos? 😡 Or just want to get through a longer video in less time? Recommend you try out this extension, especially if you’re 🌶️🧠!

[Context: I’m Australian - many (most?) of us talk a lot faster than much of the video content online. I have no patience for slow speakers or sitting through long documentaries…]

### 1/5 — Does Not Work Past 2.0x

*2026-01-11, version 2.2.0*

To Developer: no speed over 2.0x works.  Extremely laggy and unresponsive.
