Description
Finish a 90-minute lecture in 50 and still understand it. Per-site speeds, keyboard control, and it counts the time you save. Change the speed of any video with one key. Works on sites whose own player has no speed control, or caps it at 2x. - S slower, D faster, R reset. That is the interface. - Z back 10 seconds, X forward 10 seconds, without hunting for the scrubber - Twelve speeds from 0.25x to 4x, in even steps, no dragging a slider - Remembers a different speed per site, 2.5x on your course platform, 1x on Netflix, automatically - Works inside shadow DOM, which is where a lot of modern players hide - Works inside embedded players, which is how most course sites serve video - Counts the time you have saved, which is more than you would guess - Off on video calls, because changing playback rate there breaks the call WHY IT WORKS WHERE OTHERS APPEAR DEAD Setting the speed is the easy part. Finding the video is the hard part, and it is why speed controllers so often seem to do nothing. This walks shadow roots, which ordinary page queries cannot cross, watches for players that appear after the page loads, and reaches into embedded frames. When there genuinely is no video, it says so and says why, instead of sitting there doing nothing. PRIVACY Three permissions: local storage for your speed preferences, and activeTab plus scripting so that clicking the icon can reach the tab you are looking at. No access to any other site, and none at all until you click. It looks at pages to find video and audio elements, and does nothing else with them. No servers, no account, no analytics, no network requests at all.
