when you increase the speed of video and then make the video full screen it switches back to original speed don't know why this is happening...

I just switched to this extension from "YouTube Playback Speed Control". I prefer the few additional features of "Video Speed Manager". Pro tip: if you wanna limit this extension to only youtube it works better to input "https://www.youtube.com/" instead of just "youtube.com" in sites listed under the extension manager menu.

it didn't work for a brightcove embeded media player.
