Video Speed Controller Global is a free browser extension that adds speed controls to any HTML5 video, on any website.
Instead of being stuck with whatever playback speed a site offers — or no speed control at all — this extension gives you a lightweight on-screen controller plus keyboard shortcuts to:
- Speed up or slow down playback in small steps
- Rewind or advance the video
- See an instant notification confirming the new speed
How it works:
- Open any page with a video
- Use the keyboard shortcut (default: Ctrl+Shift+Y) or the floating controller overlay
- Adjust your shortcuts, speed presets, and site blacklist from the side panel
It works on YouTube, Netflix, Vimeo, and basically any site that uses HTML5 video. Everything runs locally in your browser — there's no data collection, tracking, or external servers involved.
Free, lightweight, and built for anyone who wants more control over how fast — or slow — they watch videos.

4. Use the on-screen controller or the keyboard shortcut (default: Ctrl+Shift+Y, Cmd+Shift+Y on Mac) to change the playback speed.
