About

Speed Browser App

Read full description

Browse with clear, familiar mobile controlsβ€”and spend less time waiting on artificial page delays. Speed Browser can independently accelerate JavaScript timeouts and intervals, animation-frame timestamps, Web and CSS animations, and audio or video playback. Give timers and animations their own multiplier from 1Γ— to 100Γ—, set media playback from 1Γ— to 16Γ—, or turn off only the types a website needs to run normally. Media rates may be limited further by the webpage or browser. Manual mode gives you a live view of active page timers. Invoke a timer immediately, pause invocations, disable one call, block a repeating source, or hide noisy sources. Speed Browser keeps your preferences and recent URLs on your device. It contains no ads and no third-party analytics. Speed Browser does not speed up downloads, network requests, or browser-native work. Some websites may behave unexpectedly at high multipliers; you can always switch a type to 1Γ—, turn it off, or disable acceleration for that site.
