Our reviewer read version 3.3.13 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

Global Speed - Video Speed Control, used by 700,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in September 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension's code is entirely focused on video speed control, audio effects, and related utilities. No outbound network requests to external servers were found; all data is stored locally via chrome.storage.local. The broad permissions (scripting, tabCapture, offscreen, etc.) are necessary for its core functionality. No obfuscation beyond standard webpack minification. The publisher is reputable with no malicious history, and the extension has 600,000+ users with a 4.7 rating. The ML model's low risk score (0.00) is consistent with the manual review.

scripting
Permission
Critical
This permission allows injection and execution of JavaScript on any webpage. Rated Critical because it can modify page content, steal sensitive data, and inject malicious code into any site the extension has access to.
userScripts
Permission
Critical
This permission allows registration of arbitrary user scripts that run in a page's main world. Rated Critical because the scripts execute with full access to page JavaScript, can be updated at runtime from remote code, and bypass the isolated world that normally contains content scripts.
https://*/*
Host
Critical
Broad host access — the extension can read/modify content on every website.

Permission
High
This permission captures content and audio from browser tabs. Rated High because it can record sensitive web content, capture form input, and monitor user interactions.

file://*/*
Host
Medium
Host permission — access limited to this URL pattern.

This extension runs content scripts at document_start.
About:blank Access
Risk Factor
