User Reviews

Exactly what I needed to get past the new paywalling of speed control on Youtube. It works perfectly so far and is easier to access than the old way of going into setting on top of the fact that it allows me more reasons to not pay for Youtube Premium lol.

Would be perfect if double click could reset speed ;)

Is Youtube Speed Controller 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 Controller requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
