Video Speed Controller Experimental

Experimental version of Video Speed Controller

The Video Speed Controller Experimental Chrome extension serves as a testing ground for new and innovative features that may eventually be added to the main Video Speed Controller project. This version allows users and developers to experiment with changes and provide valuable feedback without affecting the stability that regular users expect.

Please note that the experimental version may be unstable and is intended for those interested in trialing the latest ideas. If you prefer a reliable and consistent experience, the stable Video Speed Controller is recommended. This extension is not a fork or alternative but a sandbox environment for feature development and refinement.

User reviews

Users praise Video Speed Controller Experimental for its reliability across multiple platforms, customizable hotkeys, and ability to remember speed settings per video. Its subtle interface is appreciated but occasionally causes delayed user recognition of functionality. The extension is particularly valued for skipping ads and enhancing video consumption speed. A few users noted uncertainty about the parent project's presence on the Chrome Web Store.

Some concerns or confusion about the availability or status of the parent project on the Chrome Web Store.
Took some users time to realize the extension was working due to its subtle interface.

BEST EXTENSION EVER!!! This is the best extention I have ever used. Thanks to the developer for it, love you man 💌💌💌💌

Relieved to find out the extension lives on for longer and didn't vanish from the face of this browser. This extension offers the flexibility to bind your own key without the dependency of ctrl or shift or anything like that. I could not for the life of me find another extension that offers the exact flexiblity of key-rebinding a video controller offers when I needed to find it.
