PlayFaster

This extension's single purpose is enhanced playback speed control for videos and audio at your preferred speed.

Speed up videos and change playback speed on any website — even sites that block speed changes. Play Faster is a free video speed controller for Chrome that lets you set any speed from 0.1x to 42x — the answer to life, the universe, and your training queue — on any site with video or audio. WHAT'S NEW • A-B segment loop — in the overlay, press A to mark a start, B to mark an end, C to clear. The video loops your range automatically. • YouTube ad muter — automatically mutes ads and restores volume when they end • Pitch preservation — audio stays natural at any speed, even past 2x • Max speed set to 42x — the answer to life, the universe, and everything (most controllers stop at 16x) • Hold Shift with arrow keys or scroll for large step adjustments • Per-site speed memory — each domain remembers its own playback speed • Smarter keyboard shortcut detection — stays silent in text fields, Shadow DOM inputs, and rich-text editors WHY PLAY FASTER? Most video speed controllers stop working when a site enforces a speed limit. Play Faster bypasses those limits by spoofing the playback rate — the site thinks you're at 2x while you're actually at 4x, 8x, or higher. No page reloads, no warnings, no detection. WORKS ON EVERY WEBSITE Any page with HTML5 video or audio — streaming sites, e-learning platforms, training portals, podcasts, and more. If it plays in your browser, Play Faster can speed it up.
