Description

Take full control of your YouTube viewing experience with powerful keyboard shortcuts! 🔹 This is a third-party extension and is not officially affiliated with YouTube™. 🔶Key Features: 🔸Extended Speed Control: Adjust playback speed with greater precision and a wider range (up to 16x). It uses the same standard YouTube shortcuts (< and >). 🔸Custom Time Seeking: Rewind or fast-forward by a custom amount of time (1-4 seconds) using SHIFT + ← and SHIFT + →. On-Screen Display: Instantly see the current playback speed right on the player's control bar. 🔶Please Note: 🔸When playing at speeds above 2x (or 4x for Premium users), YouTube's native closed captions (CC) may occasionally lag and then appear in a batch. 🔸⚠️ The custom seek shortcut has been changed to SHIFT + Arrow to avoid conflicting with YouTube's default shortcut for chapter navigation (CTRL + Arrow on Windows, ⌘ + Arrow on Mac). --------------------- What's New in v0.2.0: - Wider Compatibility: The extension now fully works on videos embedded with "privacy-enhanced mode" (youtube-nocookie.com). - Instant Option Updates: Changes made in the options page now apply instantly, no page reload required. - Optimized for YouTube Premium: Full support for YouTube Premium's new high-speed playback features, providing a stable viewing experience at higher rates.
