Playback Rate: Control the Speed of HTML5 Videos and Audios
Playback Rate is a free Chrome add-on developed by Mihai Parparita. As the name suggests, this add-on allows users to control the playback speed of HTML5 video and audio elements. With the Playback Rate extension, users can easily adjust the speed at which videos and audios play, giving them more control and flexibility over their media consumption.
One of the standout features of Playback Rate is the addition of a "Playback Rate" context menu to HTML5 video and audio elements. This context menu provides users with a convenient way to change the playback speed of media content. Whether you want to speed up a lecture video or slow down a podcast, Playback Rate makes it simple to adjust the speed to your liking.
It's important to note that there may be some limitations with Chrome's audio implementation, as mentioned by the developer. Bugs in Chrome's audio system could potentially affect the functionality of the 1.25x and 1.5x playback rates. However, for most users, this should not be a significant issue.
Overall, Playback Rate is a useful Chrome add-on for those who want to have more control over the playback speed of HTML5 videos and audios. Its intuitive interface and convenient context menu make it easy to adjust the speed to suit your preferences.
