Description

Adds minimalist buttons to the YouTube player for easy custom playback speeds. YouTube playback speed control: set any custom speed from .1x to 16x across 4 buttons. Hold for temporary speed boost or toggle/lock speeds your choice! Plus some nice UX tweaks sprinkled in there that you didnt know you needed! Perfect for skipping slow parts, speeding through lectures, or (let's be honest) sponsors. Waste time watching YouTube ✨ efficiently! ✨ All with the privacy of me not caring about what you watch. so nothing is collected! (Thanks for the toggle idea reviews!) Wanna take a peek at the code? Its open source! https://github.com/NuclearBlox/Sensible-YouTube-speed-controls (keybinds coming soon)
