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.

One of the most reliable and easiest volume boosters in the Chrome browser.

If your speakers or headphones do not reproduce sufficient sound volume for comfortable listening to music or watching video content - use our extension as a speaker amplifier, setting the volume level to more than 600%.

Use the sound booster of it on your favorite sites. Just adjust the sound in the current web tab using the slider.

☑️ Sound level over 600% ☑️ Simple and intuitive design, convenient operation ☑️ Automatically shuts off in normal mode ☑️ Switch to any tab that plays audio with one click ☑️ Smoothly increase the volume using the slider

🖥 Full screen Chrome doesn’t allow you to switch to full screen mode when using any extension that processes sound, so you can always see a rectangular icon in the tab bar (to know that the audio is being processed). It is impossible to get around this, after all, it is a good thing that protects you. However, you can improve the situation a bit by pressing F11 (on Windows) or Ctr + Cmd + F (on Mac).
