Great but have recommendation

I am really enjoying the functionality of the extension. I use this as a medical student to more quickly navigate through lectures.

One additional feature that would make this perfect for me would be menu commands to make universal keyboard shortcuts. An example this could be used is during recorded lectures and taking notes. If i miss a particular portion of the lecture audio and I need to skip backwards to get it, without exiting the note taking application, I would be able to do that. I cant tell you how much I am going in and out of applications when I just want to have a global shortcut for pause/play, skip forward and skip backward. Maybe Accelerate can do this and I just missed it. Great applicaiton none the less!

Its good for being one of the only fast forwards for safari

Im still a little confused sometimes on how to use it but the creator sent me to an faq page that helped me out. Im getting used to it, but it could still be a little clearer with instrcutions. though, it does what its supposed to do so it should get 5 stars. I also still dont like that it wans you that it could be steaking passwords, but the creator also explained that, and i guess ill just have to trust him if i want to watch netflix faster lol

Developer Response ,

Hi userjlv, I promise that Accelerate doesn't collect any personal info whatsoever, and you can see an explanation for the warning in my privacy policy, since it's a common concern with many Safari extensions. If you need help with getting the extension to work, there is an FAQ available on the Accelerate website with troubleshooting instructions. (https://ritam.me/projects/accelerate/faq) If you have other questions, feel free to email me and I'd be glad to answer them.

Perfect for Speeding Through Videos/Audio

When I listen to podcasts, I always utilize the 1.5x-2x speed and wanted to figure out how to do that on my Macbook. I came across this app and it works perfectly!! I don't even have to open the app in order to accelerate a video because I have it as an extension in Safari. I simply press "D" to speed up the video and "S" to slow it down (this shortcut can also be edited). If you are like me and enjoy consuming content rapidly, this is the app for you!
