Dec 3, 2023 still not updated and doesn't work

Does exactly one thing and appears to do it very well! It has finer speed adjustments than the defaults in the video player, AND can set the speed to *faster* than 2x! I've tried 3x and it works perfectly, although it's really hard to keep up with for obvious reasons. This addon is such a nice quality of life improvement!

It sort of works, sometimes. Often times the video will start off at the preset speed, but about 30 seconds in, drop back to standard 1.0 speed. If you use the same tab to start another video (click on related etc.) it never works and will always play at the last speed youtube thinks it played at (1.0 unless you've manually adjusted it), so more often than not, this doesn't work. It's nice when it randomly chooses to though. Hopefully the developer fixes the bugs.

Is Youtube Playback 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 Playback 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 Playback Speed may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
