User Reviews

Does what it says, does it reliably. Thanks, Megahed. Currently there's nothing about it you can configure which seems like a reasonable choice for absolute simplicity, but I might prefer that the indicator for the current speed appeared on the top right instead of bottom right. As a second priority, it might be nice to be able to define the increment amount of speed change. I used perplexity AI to find this extension.

Is YouTube Speed Keys 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 Speed Keys requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
