MySpeed, a tiny free software, allows you to control the speed of online videos. That means that you can watch a YouTube video in twice the default speed, or slow down the video to half of it. The speed-control window automatically appears whenever a video is played, and disappears when the page is closed or the video is paused (see screenshot).

As you may imagine, there are various situations where it is more efficient to speed up a video (or a part of it) or more effective to play it slower . I find it useful, for example, when I watch lectures and want to speed them up, even 10 or 20 percent faster, if the lecturer speaks slow or when I just want to get the hang of it quickly.
