Overview
Video Speed Controller – YT Speed Controller
Take full control of any video playback speed on YouTube (and every other website)!
Tired of YouTube resetting your speed every time you open a new video or Short?
This extension remembers your preferred speed and forces it to stay — no matter if you're watching long videos, Shorts, ads, or switching tabs.
Key Features
Instantly increase or decrease speed with floating + and – buttons right on the video
Choose your step size: 0.1×, 0.25× (default), 0.5×, or 1.0×
Works perfectly on YouTube Shorts & regular videos
Smart repositioning: buttons automatically move out of the way when you click Watch Later, Share, Theater mode, etc., then come right back
Speed is aggressively preserved — even after ads, page changes, or Shorts autoplay
Works on ALL websites that use HTML5 video (Netflix, Twitch, Vimeo, Coursera, etc.)
Zero data collection – 100% private & offline
How to use
