About this extension
This extension adds a speed control button directly to YouTube's hover previews, because sometimes curiosity deserves a fast-forward button. If YouTube allows muting and unmuting during a preview, you should be able to change the playback speed too.
Features:
Adds a dedicated Speed Control Button to YouTube video hover previews.
Selectable playback speeds starting from 0.5x up to 2x directly from the UI.
Supports underlying speed adjustments up to 4x through script cycling.
Saves and persists your preferred preview speed across browsing sessions.
Integrates seamlessly with minimal inline CSS to look like a native part of YouTube.
Keyboard Shortcuts:Shift + >: Increase speed. Shift + <: Decrease speed. S: Cycle through speeds.
