Review Summary
Users appreciated the extension for its lightweight design, broad platform compatibility, and useful speed control features. However, multiple reviews lamented recent updates that broke functionality, with users unable to speed up videos or use custom key bindings. The loss of the old UI with its favored features, poor interface placement, and issues on certain sites like Reddit were common complaints. Despite its potential and past praise, many users found it frustrating after recent changes, requesting a return to previous versions or fixes.

- Lightweight extension with only 57KB and does not collect user data.

- Lost old UI features such as remaining time display and draggable interface.
- Poor compatibility with platforms like Reddit where videos get stuck or fail to load.
