Custom Video Speed Controller for YouTube and Beyond: My Open-Source Solution
Are you a frequent YouTube viewer or someone who enjoys videos and podcasts that could benefit from adjustable playback speeds? If so, you’ve likely used various browser extensions to control video speed. However, if you’ve found existing options lacking—or simply wanted a more tailored experience—you might be interested in a solution I developed myself.
After trying multiple extensions available in the Chrome Web Store, I found none perfectly suited my needs. So, I took matters into my own hands and created a custom speed controller that offers the flexibility and convenience I was seeking. This tool is open source, meaning anyone can review, modify, and improve it.
See it in action!
