User reviews

Users appreciate the add-on for its ease of use and effectiveness in speeding up videos beyond YouTube's default limit, making video watching more efficient. However, multiple reviews mention shortcomings such as limited speed increment options, a basic and somewhat clunky user interface, absence of persistent settings per site, and a desire for hotkeys and better integration of controls within video players.
Pros
  • Easy to use and very useful for increasing video playback speed.
  • Works reliably to control video speed on Firefox.
  • Allows speed adjustment beyond YouTube's default maximum of 2.0x.
  • Helps users watch videos faster, saving time.
  • Lightweight and convenient for everyday use.
Cons
  • Speed adjustment increments are limited to 0.25 steps, users want finer control like 0.1 increments.
  • User interface design is basic and could be improved with better buttons or integration.
  • Settings like speed changes are not remembered by websites across sessions.
  • Lacks hotkeys or keyboard shortcuts for easier usage.
  • Some users prefer controls integrated directly into the video player rather than separate icons.

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 Up requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
