Short description
Speed up, slow down, advance and rewind HTML5 audio/video with shortcuts Revert Site lets you get the old Facebook site design back (for Biz/Fan Pages only)
Full summary

HTML5 video provides native APIs to accelerate playback of any video, but most implemented players either hide or limit this functionality. This extension fixes that, plus more...

It will help you optimize your video viewing by allowing you to make quick playback speed adjustments, as well as rewind the video to hear the last few second one more time. We don't read at a constant speed, and we talk much slower than we read - there is no reason why we have to listen at a constant speed and at a (very) slow rate.

Once the extension is installed simply navigate to any page that offers HTML5 video, and you'll see a speed indicator in top left corner of the video player. Hover over the indicator to reveal the controls to accelerate, slowdown, or rewind the video (10 seconds + lowers playback speed). Or, even better, use your keyboard:

  • S - decrease playback speed.
  • D - increase playback speed.
  • R - reset playback speed.
  • Z - rewind video by 10 seconds.
  • X - advance video by 10 seconds.
  • V - show/hide controller.

If you prefer other shortcuts, want to change the increment value, or want the player to remember your playback speed in the future, head into the settings page and customize it to your heart's content.

Revert Site lets you get the old Facebook design / layout back (for Biz/Fan Pages and a few other pages too).

Revert Site is very quick to install, and very easy to use, it just has a single option, that is turned on by default, so you can just install it and not have to configure anything. However if you wish to temporarily disable Revert Site, you can easily do so by clicking the extension icon, in the browser's extensions toolbar, then un-ticking the "Switch back to the old Facebook design" checkbox. To turn it back on, just re-tick the checkbox.

If you can't find the Revert Site (R) button in your extension's toolbar, it may be hidden behind the "Jigsaw puzzle piece" button, so click that and see if its behind there.

**** PLEASE NOTE ****

Revert Site can only revert Business / Fan Pages, and a few other pages. It can't revert the Newsfeed, Personal Profiles, Events or Group pages.

If you find there are any parts of the site that won't work with the Revert option turned on, switch it off while you carry out your tasks, then turn it back on when you have finished to go back to the old site again.
