Video Speed Controller browser extension helps cure video buffering issues by slowing down HTML5 video playback slightly

I’d been noticing regular irritating buffering pauses on Odysee videos. Partly the issue is with high-res creator videos being posted, and Odysee does not (yet) transcode them into lower res alternatives to choose from. No it’s not my ISP link as it’s a 200Mbps fibre downlink, and I see the extension has over 2 million downloads, so clearly there is a need for it.

This extension will work with any Chromium based browser for HTML5 videos. Its controls appear on the top left of the video (in case, like me, you could not find them). I found a 0.70 speed worked OK for me.
