A Firefox WebExtension that allows you to control YouTube video playback speed with keyboard shortcuts. In addition to adjusting the playback speed, this add-on modifies YouTube's native time display to show effective times (i.e. the adjusted current time and total duration based on the playback speed). A small overlay in the top-left corner also shows the current playback speed.

Native Time Display Modification:
