User reviews

Users appreciate the HBO Max Speeder extension for enabling playback speed control, improving content consumption efficiency. It is praised for ease of use and seamless functionality. However, common issues include inconsistent speed maintenance, irregular audio behavior between dialogue and non-dialogue, and occasional audio distortion. Users desire more fine-tuned speed settings and note frustrations relying on third-party tools since HBO Max itself does not offer speed control.

for some reason the speed goes in and out. it'll speed up, stop, and speed up again. it doesn't maintain a consistent speed.

Still works today; thank you. Sucks to depend on 3rd parties to fix this but glad we have this option.
