Tired of YouTube's built-in 2x limit? YouTube 3x Speed Controller removes the barrier and lets you play videos at 3x from the player menu — and even up to 16x when needed. Whether you watch lectures, tutorials, podcasts, meetings, or long-form content, this speed controller helps you consume video content in less time.

Data source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
