Install Compare

The Video Speed Control Chrome extension enables users to easily manage the playback speed of any HTML5 video element directly from a convenient toolbar popup. Simply open a webpage containing an HTML5 video, start playing it, then open the extension's popup interface to set your desired speed between 0.07x and 16x. After adjusting, click the Play button within the popup to apply the speed change.

Please note that the extension requires manual activation of the speed change for each video playback and after each page reload, ensuring user control is maintained in compliance with HTML5 standards. This extension is ideal for users wanting customized video playback speed on any supported webpage without relying on built-in player controls. For feedback or bug reports, users can visit the extension's homepage.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Video Speed Control requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
