Users appreciate Video Speed Changer for its simplicity and reliable speed control on multiple streaming sites, saving time especially for lectures and rewatching content. It stands out as one of the few extensions that consistently works beyond YouTube. However, some experience issues like the extension not opening, difficulty with the speed menu interfering with playback, and minor bugs. Overall, it is praised for its effectiveness and ease of use despite occasional glitches.

Amazing, easy, straightforward, variable - I have ADD & watching movies/shows is infuriating for me, especially when I'm rewatching something I've seen millions of times. Youtube lets me speed things up but this extension works on Hulu. THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY TIME.
