User Reviews
Reviews praise the add-on for fast, reliable video speed control with a simple UI and broad site support (notably Netflix and Amazon Prime). The main drawbacks are the absence of per-site speed defaults and memory (global speeds; reloads or domain changes aren’t remembered) and the lack of keyboard shortcuts, which several users request. Pros
- Effective speed control across many sites, helping you skip slow playback.
- Simple, versatile, and fast user interface that’s easy to use.
- Works across popular sites, including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
- Long-term reliability; used for years with consistent performance.
Cons
- Lacks per-site/domain speed defaults and per-site memory; speeds apply globally and aren’t remembered per site or domain.
- Keyboard shortcuts are missing; users repeatedly request quick-access controls (e.g., Ctrl+Mouse Wheel).
Recent reviews
Spot on; does the job better than I thought. Never again will I have to sit through Channel4.com at the ridiculously snail-paced 1x speed.

Is Video Speed Control 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.
Video Speed Control requires a few sensitive permissions. 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.
Video Speed Control is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
