Stuck on EasyLlama at 2x?

EasyLlama caps playback at 2x and reloads the page if you try to go higher. PlayFaster bypasses both — silently and reliably. Read the full guide →

The 2x cap

EasyLlama's player won't let you go past 2x speed — even if you've seen the content before.

The reload trap

Every 3 seconds, EasyLlama checks your playback rate. Anything above 2x reloads the page from the start.

PlayFaster's fix

We spoof the playback rate getter so EasyLlama always sees "2x" — while audio actually plays at whatever speed you choose.

What's New · v3.3

Built for power users.

Per-site speed memory, quick keys, and a 42x speed ceiling — the answer to life, the universe, and your training queue. All customizable.

New
🚀

Max speed raised to 16x (up to 42x)

New
⌨️

Quick keys & large steps

Press S/D to speed up or down without the overlay. Hold Shift for large step adjustments.

Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Simple controls that stay out of your way and just work on every site.

0.1x to 42x range

Past the 2x ceiling most player UIs expose. (Yes, 42 — we thought about it.) Slow down to 0.1x for transcription or language learning, or breeze through familiar content at 8x or higher.

🎯

Precision controls

Adjust by your configured increment, jump by large steps, or type any value directly. Fast and exact.

🖱️

Scroll wheel support

Scroll up/down in the popup to nudge speed without clicking. Natural and instant.

💾

Persistent preference

Set it once and forget it. Your speed persists across tabs, pages, and browser restarts.

🌐

Runs in cross-origin iframes

Injects into every frame on the page, so it reaches embedded SCORM and Go1 players that other speed controllers can't see. Heavily sandboxed iframes are the one exception.

🔒

No analytics in the extension

No tracking, no telemetry, no account. Your settings stay on your device. The only outbound call is when you voluntarily activate a supporter license.
