IMGLAB Video Speed Control EN

IMGLAB Video Speed Control — watch smarter, not slower.
Control playback speed on any website with a clean on-page overlay,
fully remappable keyboard shortcuts, per-site speed memory that
remembers your preference for every site you visit, and a smart
block list to skip sites where speed control doesn't belong.

CORE FEATURES
─────────────────────────────────
⚡ On-Page Speed Overlay
A minimal floating controller appears on every video:
[ − ] [ 1.50 ] [ + ] [ × ]
Drag it anywhere. Double-click the speed number to instantly toggle
between 1× and your preferred speed. No mouse wheel accidents.
🧠 Per-Site Speed Memory
Each website remembers the last speed you used. YouTube at 1.75×,
lecture sites at 2×, movies at 1×. Switch sites and your speed
switches with you — automatically.
⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts — All Remappable
Speed up, slow down, reset, jump to preferred speed, or cycle through
your favourites — all from the keyboard. Every key can be reassigned
from the popup. Default shortcuts:
X — Decrease speed
C — Increase speed
Z — Reset to 1×
V — Jump to preferred speed
B — Cycle through favourite speeds
H — Show / hide overlay
🔁 Cycle Mode
Set up your favourite speeds (e.g. 1.25× → 1.5× → 1.75×) and tap B
to rotate through them instantly.
🎞️ Frame-by-Frame Stepping
Pause any video and step through it one frame at a time using , and .
Perfect for analysing footage, catching a moment, or reviewing a move.
🚫 Block List
Some sites use custom video pipelines incompatible with speed control
(TikTok is a known example). The built-in block list lets you exclude
any site with one click — the extension simply stays out of the way.
Popular sites are suggested, or add your own custom domains anytime.
🎛️ Fully Configurable
Open the popup to set your preferred speed, step size, min/max limits,
cycle speeds list, and controller opacity. Everything is saved and
synced across your browsers.

YOUTUBE — PLAYS NICE
─────────────────────────────────
On YouTube, the extension is smart enough to stay out of the way.
Space, arrow keys, comma, and period are left entirely to YouTube's
own handlers — so seek animations, progress bar updates, and keyboard
UI all work exactly as YouTube intended. The extension only manages
speed keys on YouTube.
YouTube's single-page navigation is fully supported: the overlay and
speed settings follow you from video to video without a page reload.

PRIVACY
─────────────────────────────────
We collect absolutely nothing. No analytics, no tracking, no servers.
Your settings are stored locally on your device using built-in
storage. Full privacy policy at imglab.net.
