Play Faster - Speed Up Any Video on the Web Autor: Whiteboard Works

WHAT'S NEW
• Editable speed presets — set your own four quick-pick speeds in Options
• Auto mute YouTube ads — toggle on or off, live, no reload needed
• A-B segment loop — in the overlay, press A to mark a start, B to mark an end, C to clear. The video loops your range automatically.
• Pitch preservation — audio stays natural at any speed, even past 2x
• Max speed set to 42x — the answer to life, the universe, and everything (most controllers stop at 16x)
• Hold Shift with arrow keys or scroll for large step adjustments
• Per-site speed memory — each domain remembers its own playback speed
• Smarter keyboard shortcut detection — stays silent in text fields, Shadow DOM inputs, and rich-text editors

WHY PLAY FASTER?
Most video speed controllers stop working when a site enforces a speed limit. Play Faster bypasses those limits by spoofing the playback rate — the site thinks you're at 2x while you're actually at 4x, 8x, or higher. No page reloads, no warnings, no detection.

WORKS ON EVERY WEBSITE
Any page with HTML5 video or audio — streaming sites, e-learning platforms, training portals, podcasts, and more. If it plays in your browser, Play Faster can speed it up.
