A simple Google Chrome extension that sets HTML5 video and audio playback to a user-defined speed (default: 2x). Works on all websites containing <video> or <audio> elements.

• Global support for HTML5 videos and audio on any site.
• Configurable speed via the extension's popup (default is 2x).
• Persistent across sessions (saves your chosen speed in Chrome's storage).
• Auto-apply playback speed whenever a new video or audio element is added (thanks to a MutationObserver).

1. Default speed is 2x. Any <video> or <audio> element on pages you visit will automatically start playing at 2x speed.
2. Change speed:
   • Click the extension icon in your Chrome toolbar.
   • In the popup, you’ll see a numeric field labeled “Playback Speed.”
   • Enter a new speed (e.g., 1.5 or 3) and press Enter or leave the field.
   • The new speed is applied instantly to all videos and audio on the current page and is remembered for all future pages.

• This extension relies on the Chrome Storage Sync API to store your preferred playback speed across browser sessions.
• A MutationObserver is used to detect when new video or audio elements are added or replaced on modern web pages, ensuring your chosen speed is reapplied if new media appears.
