How It Works

The extension uses Chrome's scripting API to inject JavaScript that modifies the playbackRate property of HTML5 video elements:

document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].playbackRate = 2.6;

Smart Video Detection Algorithm

1. Scans all video elements on the page
2. Prioritizes videos that are:
   • Currently playing
   • Larger in size (likely the main content)
   • Most recently interacted with
3. Applies speed changes to the most relevant video

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Extension doesn't detect video:

• Try clicking "Detect Video" button
• Refresh the page and try again
• Some videos load dynamically - wait a moment after page load

Speed doesn't persist:

• Some platforms override playback rate - this is expected behavior
• The extension will reapply your speed when possible

Keyboard shortcuts not working:

• Make sure no input fields are focused
• Try clicking on the video player first
• Shortcuts require Ctrl/Cmd + Shift combination
