PlayFaster Firefox

PlayFaster

Speed up videos and change playback speed on any website — even sites that block speed changes. Play Faster is a free video speed controller for Chrome that lets you set any speed from 0.1x to 64x on YouTube, Netflix, Udemy, Coursera, LinkedIn, etc.

Features & Capabilities

WHY PLAY FASTER? Most video speed controllers stop working when a site enforces a speed limit. Play Faster bypasses those limits by spoofing the playback rate — the site thinks you're at 2x while you're actually at 4x, 8x, or higher. No page reloads, no warnings, no detection.

SPEED UP VIDEOS ANYWHERE • YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu • Udemy, Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, Skillshare, Khan Academy • EasyLlama, KnowBe4, Workday Learning, Go1, SCORM players • Any website with HTML5 video or audio — no exceptions

FEATURES • Video speed controller: 0.1x to 64x playback speed • Bypass speed limits — works on sites that cap speed at 2x • Pitch preservation — audio stays natural, no chipmunk effect • Per-site speed memory — each website remembers your preferred speed • On-page speed overlay — control speed without opening the popup • Keyboard shortcuts — customizable hotkeys for speed up and speed down • Mouse wheel control — scroll to nudge speed up or down • Direct input — type any exact speed value • Works inside iframes — reaches embedded players and e-learning content • Speed persists across tabs, pages, and browser restarts

  1. Click the Play Faster icon on any page with video or audio
  2. Set your speed with buttons, scroll wheel, or type a value

Is PlayFaster Safe?

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.

PlayFaster requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox 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 a Firefox add-on.

PlayFaster is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
