Hi PH 👋
I increase the YouTube playback speed 🏎️ in almost all videos, but it's hidden deep in the settings and takes at least 3x clicks!
So I built a Safari extension to change the playback speed on YouTube with just a single click, it's something I wanted for a long time and watching new WWDC videos finally pushed me to build it.
The controls stay out of the way when the player UI hides, and Safari permissions are limited to YouTube domains.
Nice kinda like on IOS how you hold the screen to temp speed up without messing with config settings
This is extremely useful! I like how it blends with the YT controls and doesn't get in the way 👌
