Reviews for Video Speed Controller
Video Speed Controller by codebicycle
Review by Froggy
Rated 4 out of 5
by Froggy, 2 years agoGood for increasing the speed of YouTube videos beyond YouTube's own limit of 2x.
Partly works on YouTube in Firefox Nightly for Android. Controller indicator works in desktop view. In mobile view, it doesn't respond to touch, disappears after a couple of seconds, and can't be brought back with a tap. Switching to desktop view is a reasonable workaround, but fix the mobile-view issues and you'll have a complete winner.
YouTube High Definition has to be disabled for the "force last speed" function to work. No worries about that, but just an observation for anyone puzzled by the function not working.

- Rated 3 out of 5by filter, 17 days agoIt works, but it's outdated. Outdated JavaScript + access to all websites = disaster. Moving to an active fork.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kyle Thomas, 21 days agoThis software works beautifully. It fits nicely with vimium-c: i puts vimium-c into insert mode, which allows keys to control this extension. Custom keybindings can be set for arbitrary preset playback speeds. Users can toggle between speed1 and speed2 by pressing the keybinding for speed1 then toggling between the two speeds by repeatedly pressing the keybinding for speed2.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18383574, 23 days agoGood functionality, helpful and customizable shortcuts, very unobtrusive design.
However, it is prone to crashes when skipping backwards in sped up videos and would often appear to slow down pages with no videos at all. I also had the impression that turning the speed up and down didn't entirely cancel out - Rated 5 out of 5by Sleepwalker, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by kentkouh, 2 months agoVery good addon fast and functional, would like an option to leave the button strip all buttons always visible
- Rated 5 out of 5by Parthros, 2 months agoI had a bit of a difficult time leaning how this Add-On worked, but once I got the hang of it (and customized the controls to my liking), I LOVED it! It's so nice to be able to watch videos in 2x or even 3x speed almost anywhere!

- Rated 1 out of 5by John Smith, 3 months agoRequest access to all data of all websites (wich includes passwords) for changing the speed of a video?. Not on my computer my friend.

- Rated 5 out of 5by musictracer, 3 months agoOne of the best add-ons out there!
Controls speed of every motion picture, even GIFs !!! It's Crazy!!
You can set your own shortcuts, so I set the same as youtube. Now I can easily speed up up to 6x or even more on youtube ! What else could you ask from a speed controller? - Rated 4 out of 5by Filippo, 3 months ago
