What Video Controls Plus is
Video Controls Plus is a browser extension that adds playback controls to HTML5 video. You control the video player the way you want it, on any site that plays a standard video, and you get special tools on YouTube, Netflix and LinkedIn.
It ships for Chrome, Edge and Firefox.
What you control
Speed comes first. Press ] to go 0.1x faster and [ to go 0.1x slower, and that works without an account.
It does a lot more than change the speed: you can loop a part of a video with an A-B loop, boost the audio up to 400%, adjust brightness, contrast and saturation, save a frame as a screenshot, and keep notes with the timestamp. Signed out, you have speed, presets, frame step, Picture-in-Picture, share timestamp, theater mode, notes and the widget. The A-B loop, audio boost, filters, screenshots and auto-skip open after you sign in.
