SpeedLens removes that limitation entirely. With a single click on the toolbar icon, you get a smooth slider that lets you set any playback rate from 0.1× to 2.0× in precise 0.1× increments — instantly applied to any video on the page. — WHY IT EXISTS — Fixed presets are frustrating. Sometimes 1.5× is too slow and 2.0× is too fast, and there is no way to reach 1.6×. SpeedLens is built for anyone who watches long-form technical content — coding tutorials, AI lectures, deep-dive walkthroughs — where the ideal approach is to move quickly through the material first, grasp the structure, then revisit and slow down on the sections that need focus. — KEY FEATURES — • Precise speed control: 0.1× to 2.0× in 0.1× steps • One-click access from the Chrome toolbar — no menus to navigate • Instant response: the video updates the moment you move the slider • Quick-pick buttons for common speeds: 0.5×, 0.75×, 1.0×, 1.5×, 2.0× • Works on any site with an HTML5 video element • Resets to 1.0× on every new tab — no carry-over between sessions — PRIVACY — SpeedLens collects nothing. No user data, no browsing history, no analytics, no telemetry. The extension requires only the minimum permissions needed to function: activeTab and scripting. Nothing is stored locally or transmitted anywhere. Ever. Built for learners, researchers, and anyone who takes their video queue seriously.
