StreamSpeed Extension

Fine tune the playback speed of popular streaming services, including Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, DisneyPlus, and YouTube, from 0.1x to 16x speed. Use the slider bar, the + and - keys, or the [ and ] keys to adjust playback speed. Backspace and \\ resets to 1x.

Slow playback to 0.1x so you can see sleight of hand in magic tricks, or watch an action scene unfold in slow motion. Speed up an audiobook 3x or DIY video 10x so you can get through them more quickly. Binge watch an entire 10 hour season on 3.3x speed in 3 (I suggest turning captions on at higher speeds)

You can also scroll to change the volume up and down - handy for watching movies from the couch if you don't have a remote for your speakers. Click the 'Scroll Volume' button on the left side of the slider bar to enable, and click again turn off scrolling volume and regain normal scrolling functionality.
