This plugin breakes default speed change hotkey. By default in Chrome it works on any keyboard layout (english, russian). With plugin installed hotkeys starts to work on english layout only. Плагин ломает поведение горячей клавиши для смены скорости. Без плагина она работает в любой раскладке клавиатуры: хоть английской, хоть русской. С установленным плагином начинает работать лишь в английской.
