User Reviews

Youtube Custom Speed is valued for its custom speed options, native-looking UI, and active maintenance. It integrates smoothly with YouTube, is open-source, and remains lightweight. Users would like configurable keyboard shortcuts and have noted stability issues where the UI intermittently disappears. Overall, it’s a solid, well-maintained tool for precise speed control, with room for improvements in keyboard bindings and reliability.

Pros

Custom speeds with the ability to define default speeds and custom increments for fine-grained playback control.
Polished, YouTube-friendly UI that feels native and lightweight, with an unobtrusive integration.
Free and open-source, offering a clean design and ongoing maintenance.
Active maintenance and quick updates to align with YouTube changes, showing good responsiveness from the developer.
Good performance on various setups (e.g., macOS M1) with a minimal footprint.

Cons

Lack of configurable keyboard shortcuts; users want to assign their own keys (e.g., plus/minus) to adjust speed.
Intermittent visibility/stability: the UI can disappear or fail to show up, occasionally requiring reload or reinstallation, and may duplicate UI elements when it reappears.

Recent reviews

Not customizable at all, has a few options and anything over 5x or below 0.25x will work badly. 16x has no audio and 0.1x doesn't play at all. The UI also doesn't feel comfortable and you need to be clicking on it instead of hovering to change, but if you hover, it will pop up.

I don't understand why there is no custom shortcut, it's unusable without them. The default youtube shortcuts don't work on azerty keyboard.

Is Youtube Custom Speed 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.

Youtube Custom Speed 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.

Youtube Custom Speed is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
