About
Speed Sail gives you the power to change the speed of videos and audio clips in your current tab! From slowing down videos or audio to help with learning a new language, to speeding up lectures to save time, Speed Sail has many uses to make your life easier!
-Whats new:
-Update 1.1.0 is here!
-When opening the extension pop up the slider will now be set to the last speed you applied. This makes it easier to quickly re-apply a speed selection if it was lost by the page being refreshed or an ad being shown over the video.
-Now values on the slider from 0.25 to 2 are incremented by 0.25, while values from 2 to 16 are incremented by 1. This makes the slider less cluttered with values and makes it easier to pick the value you want without skipping over it.
