Review summary

Users find the Video Speed Control add-on functional on Edge for videos without built-in speed control, especially useful for lecture platforms like Blackboard. However, the Edge version lacks features present in the Chrome version, such as on-screen speed display and shortcut key customization. Common issues include accidental speed changes when typing in text fields due to active shortcuts and incompatibility with YouTube's built-in controls. Users desire customizable shortcuts to avoid conflicts like Ctrl+W closing tabs while altering speed.
Pros
  • Works on Edge browser
  • Useful for video players without built-in speed control, such as Blackboard lectures
  • Provides shortcut keys to control video speed
Cons
  • Lacks on-screen display (OSD) to show current playback speed, unlike the Chrome version
  • Shortcuts affect playback speed even when typing in text fields, causing unintended speed changes during comments
  • Cannot customize or edit shortcut keys as in the Chrome version, leading to conflicts such as Ctrl+W closing tabs and simultaneously speeding videos
  • Does not work properly on YouTube or with multiple videos on the same page

2025-06-26 He***** It does work on Edge, but it's annoying when you dont want to speed up/slow down a video and the shortcuts are on your way
2024-10-27 ***** doesn't work

2024-02-29 Da***** This is abandoned ware just use this extension instead:https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/video-speed-controller/nffaoalbilbmmfgbnbgppjihopabppdk
2023-11-08 Ta***** Good add on, would be great if we could customise the action keys. Can we get rid of the W function at least? Every time is close a tab (Ctrl+w) the next video tab switches to 2x speed
2023-10-27 ***** would be great if it could add customization for hotkey so it can match with the my chrome settings.
2023-08-30 Ga***** 这个插件太好用了吧~~~
2023-08-30 Ce***** 这个插件太好用了吧~~~
2023-05-05 Aa***** I am unable to see the current speed on edge unlike chrome, can this be rectified? Other than that, its an awesome app
2023-03-24 Ol***** Unlike the version in Google Chrome, it changes the playback speed even if your focus is on some text fields. The most common issue is when you type comment under some video, and the video changes playback speed. Also if you have multiple videos on the same page, only one of them will be affected. And the little toolbar in the corner with current video speed is missing, but it's probably some Edge gimmick
