Speedy Extension

Speedy is a video playback speed modifier! Fast-forward or slow down any HTML5 video element by accessing the extension's menu.

To adjust your preferred minimum and maximum speed or the step size, click the speedometer in the top right corner. Make sure to apply your settings before exiting!

Sanjay Rana (ID: 0000000eecf902bd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/14/2022 Incredibly useful! Had to make it through a training course where I'm familiar with 90% of the material. VIdeos were hours long and needed to watch the whole thing. This extension was EXACTLY what I needed. Clean, simple interface and does exactly what it says it does!
