About
SpeedByGenre for YouTube™ Take control of your YouTube watching speed with SpeedByGenre. Do you watch music videos at normal speed but speed up news, tutorials and podcasts? SpeedByGenre automates this for you. It detects the category of the video you're watching (Music, Gaming, Education, News, etc.) and instantly applies your preferred playback speed. Stop manually adjusting speed for every video. Set it once and let the extension handle the rest. 🚀 KEY FEATURES • Smart Category Detection: Automatically identifies if you are watching a Music video, a Podcast, a Gaming stream, or a Tutorial. • Custom Speed Rules: Set a specific speed for each category. (Example: Music @ 1.0x, News @ 1.5x, Education @ 1.25x). • Ad-Aware: Intelligent enough to not speed up ads, ensuring they play correctly. • Manual Override: If you manually change the speed on a specific video, the extension respects your choice for the rest of that session. • Privacy First: No data leaves your browser. All settings are stored locally. • Lightweight: Minimal impact on browser performance. 🎯 PERFECT FOR (Everybody but especially for) • Students: Watch educational content at 1.25x or 1.5x to learn faster. • News Junkies: Breeze through daily updates at 2.0x. • Music Lovers: Ensure music always plays at the original 1.0x speed, no matter what your last setting was. • Podcast Listeners: Power through long-form conversations efficiently. • Mixers: Make your watchlist from different genres.
