About

Unlock the full potential of YouTube playback with granular speed controls ranging from 2.25x all the way up to 16x.

Whether you need to speed through a long lecture, fast-forward through boring parts, or slow down a complex tutorial to catch every detail, YouTube Custom Playback integrates seamlessly into the native YouTube player settings. It feels like a native feature, not a clunky add-on.

🚀 Key Features:

Extended Speed Menu: Unlock a full range of speeds: 2.25x, 2.5x, 2.75x, 3x, 3.25x, 3.5x, 4.75x, 5x, 5.25x, 5.5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 12x, and 16x.
Native Integration: The menu uses the original YouTube design. No ugly overlays or floating buttons that block your video.
Quick Toggle: Click the extension icon to instantly enable or disable the custom features with a single switch.
"Max" Badge: A subtle visual indicator in the settings menu lets you know when pro speeds are active.
Lightweight & Fast: Less than 1MB in size, with zero impact on page load performance.

✨ Why use this extension?

Save Time: Watch podcasts, vlogs, and news at 2.5x or 4x speed.
Study Smarter: Slow down fast-talking instructors to 0.75x to take better notes.
Analyze Details: Watch sports replays or gaming highlights at 0.25x to see exactly what happened.
Skip Filler: Blast through intros and sponsored segments at 8x or 16x speed.

🔒 Privacy & Security:
This extension does not track your viewing history, collect personal data, or inject ads. It runs locally on your browser to strictly focused on Playback speed!
