User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's ability to set custom playback speeds beyond YouTube's defaults with a simple interface that works reliably. It saves users significant time and even supports decimal speed increments. However, multiple users note that the speed does not persist between videos, requiring manual speed selection each time. The absence of hotkeys and no default speed setting feature are common complaints, as the speed resets to normal when changing videos or playlists, reducing convenience.

Pros

Allows custom speed control beyond standard limits
Works reliably compared to other speed controllers
Simple, functional and user-friendly interface
Supports decimal speed values
Consistently saves time by allowing faster video playback

Cons

Does not remember or retain speed setting between videos
Lacks option to set a default speed for all videos
No hotkeys functionality which limits ease of use
Sometimes resets speed to normal on next video in playlist

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.

Youtube Speed Controller requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
