- by Nathaniel, 5 months agoRated 3 out of 5Easy to use, works most of the time but sometimes stops working, fixed by reinstalling the plugin then refreshing the webpage.
But dodgy sounding permissions required: it demands "Access your data for all websites" which means according to mozzila it "can read... [the] data you enter such as usernames and passwords."
I don't know if it actually does, but I uninstall it when not using it. - by Roman, 5 months agoRated 3 out of 5It's good but the controls are showing up right in the middle of the video. Tried hiding the controls but they would come back after a few minutes. Tried moving them as well, same result. Hope they can get it fixed.

- by tpa77l3, a year agoRated 3 out of 5This extension is excellent. The keyboard shortcuts (which are customizable) are all you need to control it. Speed can be set to what you want and a hotkey can be used to go to a preset speed that you likely use all the time.
However, there is no privacy policy and the extension has the status of 'Access your data for all websites'. This means it can access every on your browser including usernames and password.
Another user has brought issue up; it can be found on GitHub by clicking the 'support URL' on the extensions main page, clicking on 'issues' and then searching for "data". The dev did come back to the user and point that although the extension has "root" access to the browser no information is passed out externally.
All we can can do it take his word for it. A would recommend this information be put into a proper privacy policy which can then be found easier for other user with the same concerns. I'll be looking to find a similar extension that takes privacy a little bit more seriously in the meantime. - by natsuozawa, 2 years agoRated 3 out of 5It does the job, but whenever I pause/skip the video the speed is reverted back to 1.00 (on some websites)
- by aceg364, 2 years agoRated 3 out of 5Hi, I added this extention to use on my android phone, but it isnt designed for mobile use is it? Can you advise?
Thanks - by shafto, 2 years agoRated 3 out of 5Strange choice of adding websites to exceptions by default. I only installed it to control playback speed on twitter. If I was any less careful, I would've thought the extension doesn't work.

posted 2 years agoThe audio quality comes from Firefox and has nothing to do with the add-on itself. - by Firefox user 15325128, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5

- by Fred, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5I liked that it worked by keyboard but I dont want that icon on the video all the time. Also it disorts the sound too much by slowing or speeding it up (which is prolly a yt thing because the same disortion happens when I use the yt speed settings). When I can use my software player with slow or fast vids and change the speed there than the sound is perfect.
- by Sytrus, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5The speed drops down to 1.00 when you enter and exit full-screen mode.
- by Rodrigo, 4 years agoRated 3 out of 5Very usefull addon, but I'm having a issue. IDK why but this addon is making it impossible to load some sites. And it happens only at Firefox, e.g. for acess this site: https://www.noalvo.com/ I have to disable the addon, If I turn it on, the site dosen't load... I'm also thinking that the addon is responsable to use a lot of ram memory
- by Noober, 4 years agoRated 3 out of 5I do not like using keyboard. I like my mouse. Also, put the controls together with the YouTube's controls. I mean, add x3 to YouTube's standard set of buttons. i do not like any additional icons in my browser. Just mix your soft with YouTube's GUI in the browser window.

posted 4 years agoWith Video Speed Controller you can control the speed of any HTML5 video on any website not just on Youtube. - by Firefox user 14289831, 4 years agoRated 3 out of 5ok so i love this add-on... on chrome. the audio quality starts glitching out on anything over 2.00 speed on firefox. i usually watch youtube videos at 2.50+ but i can't deal with the robotic sound on firefox. however i really do prefer firefox and would rather switch over to firefox, but this video speed issue is the only thing stopping me. not sure if it's an add-on problem or just a firefox issue that can't be helped.

posted 4 years agoWe should escalate this further to Mozilla because it's a Firefox issue.

- by Firefox user 13127361, 4 years agoRated 3 out of 5used to work flawlessly on firefox for android up until a recent update was released, now everytime you load up a video the controls stay onscreen for 5 seconds and then disappear. the only way to get them to show up again is to pause and unpause the video.
