Doesn't work for most websites... Not recommended.

Pretty good, but I wish the max speed was faster. I don't know how fast it is(and I'd like that information on the pop-up as well), but the max speed is still a bit slow. Also, for some reason I have to click or press the space bar twice to pause.
