A powerful Chrome extension that revolutionizes your YouTube viewing experience by adding instant quality and speed controls directly to every video. Skip the native settings menu and control your viewing with one click or custom keyboard shortcuts!

Why YouTube Quick Controls? YouTube's default quality and speed controls are buried in menus and require multiple clicks. This extension puts them right where you need them - instantly accessible above every video.

• One-click access to all available qualities (144p to 8K+)
• Auto quality detection - only shows qualities available for current video
• Smart positioning - controls appear above video title for easy access

• 12 speed options: 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 3.5x, 4x
• Goes beyond YouTube's 2x limit for power users
• Perfect for tutorials, lectures, and content consumption

• Quality shortcuts: Alt + 0 (Auto), Alt + 1-9 (144p-8K)
• Speed shortcuts: Shift + ` / 1-9 / 0 / - (0.25x-4x)
• Custom mapping: Change any shortcut to your preference
• Conflict-free: Only works on YouTube, won't interfere with other sites

• Seamlessly integrated with YouTube's interface
• Dark theme that matches YouTube's design language
• Responsive layout adapts to all screen sizes
• Non-intrusive - appears only when needed

• Toggle controls: Enable/disable quality or speed controls independently
