Cons

    I've been using this for over a month now. It works pretty well and speeds up videos just like it's supposed to do. It has simple keyboard shortcuts that you can adjust to your liking in the settings. My only issues that I've really noticed are sometimes the speed will reset when the video has to reload or when you go to the next video (not sure if intentional), so you have to manually fix it yourself, also I've noticed that if the video is sped up to a certain point, it might distort or mess with the audio in some way. Sometimes it's not bad, and it's just making the audio sound quieter. With worse ones, it just makes the audio a complete distorted mess that's hard to understand or hear clearly.

    ショートカットを簡単に作れるのがありがたいです。 速度も変えられますし10秒スキップもできます

    This is by far the best one. You can see what speed your playing at, it does all videos, you can change it by .1 and even smaller if you want and you can change the hot keys. What more can you ask for!

    Extension safety

    Risk impact
    Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

    Video Speed Controller requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

    Risk likelihood
    Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

    Video Speed Controller has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
