Custom YouTube Playback & Rotation by qwexon

Customize your YouTube viewing experience with a sleek, native-feeling control panel embedded directly next to YouTube's player controls. Whether you need to watch lectures at 3.5x speed, analyze frame-by-frame animations at 0.05x, or rotate sideways and upside-down videos, this extension has you covered.

FEATURES

• Break Past the 2x Limit
  Go beyond YouTube’s default 2.0x limit. Fine-tune your video playback speed anywhere from 0.25x up to 16.0x speed.
• Instant Presets
  Includes quick-access buttons for playback speeds from 0.25x up to 3.0x (in convenient 0.25x increments).
• 90° Video Rotation
  Rotate videos by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Perfect for sideways smartphone uploads, tablet mounts, or reading content sideways.
• Smart Dynamic Scaling
  When rotating videos, the player automatically scales the video aspect ratio so it fits perfectly inside your player frame without clipping or overflowing.
• Seamless UI Integration
  Adds a single, clean playback controller icon right in the YouTube toolbar beside the Subtitle/Closed Caption button.
• Persistent Preferences
  Remembers your chosen playback speed and rotation settings across different videos and tabs, saving you from constant re-adjustments.
