I originally built YouTube Custom Playback because I was tired of YouTube's artificial 2x speed limits and constantly running into quiet tutorials.
Fast forward to today, the launch is fully done and I just pushed out our biggest update yet (v1.0.3) at Youtube-Playback.space. I finally cracked the performance issues, so the extension now comfortably handles:
β‘ 16x playback speed (bypassing the Premium limits) natively in the YT settings menu.
π 600% volume boost for those impossibly quiet uploads.
-> Smooth performance even on 4K video playback.The best part? I kept it completely privacy-first with zero data collection, no remote code, and 100% free. Seeing it hold a 5.0 user rating has been incredibly validating. If you watch a lot of dev tutorials or long-form lectures, give it a try :)
