Maximize Your Binge-Watching: Control Playback Speed on Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube with Video Speed Controller

Want to power through more Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube content without sacrificing quality time? As someone who's tested dozens of streaming tools, I've found the Video Speed Controller Chrome extension transforms your viewing experience. It effortlessly speeds up or slows down HTML5 videos across these platforms—perfect for rewatching favorites or skipping filler.

After installing Video Speed Controller, access a suite of intuitive keyboard shortcuts to control playback on Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and more. Note: It skips Hulu commercials.

The default shortcuts are:

  • re - Increase playback speed.
  • R - Reset playback speed.
  • S - Slow down playback speed.
  • V - Show/hide controller.
  • X - Advance video by 10 seconds.
  • Z - Rewind video by 10 seconds.

Customize everything: remap keys, adjust speed increments, or set skip/rewind intervals. Blacklist sites like Instagram, Twitter, Vine, or Imgur to avoid unintended changes (it only activates via shortcuts anyway).
