## What it is
Global Speed is a browser extension that provides universal speed control for video and audio across websites like YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify. It adds customizable media hotkeys, URL-based speed rules, and filters such as volume boost, brightness, and pitch shift.

## Use cases
- set a default playback speed for all videos in the browser
- control video speed with keyboard hotkeys on youtube and netflix
- automatically apply a preferred speed on specific websites
- boost video volume beyond 100% in the browser
- watch frame by frame and rewind with shortcuts
- change pitch of audio playback in the browser

## When to choose
- you want one consistent playback speed across all sites
- you need keyboard shortcuts for media speed, seeking, and volume
- you want per-site speed rules or audio/video filters

## When to avoid
- you only need speed control on a single site with built-in controls
- you need audio effects on Firefox (Chromium only)
- you need a native desktop media player rather than a browser extension
