This simple extension shows you the actual video duration at any playback speed. See the duration of the video for different playback speed easily!
Note
Theoretically it should work on any chromium / firefox forks. (mobile versions are not currently supported)
- Supports Sponsorblock addon
I had this topic on my exam. Read more below.

Tip
Why Different Methods?
- Firefox extensions can be published openly on AMO
- Chrome requires paid developer accounts ($5 one-time fee)
Before you begin, ensure you have the followings:
-
Runtime:
-
Signing:
- A keypair for CRX signing. I used this tool from plasmo.
- Add the generated public key to the
keyfield in chrome-manifest.json
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/kurtnettle/yt-pb-calc.git
-
Enter the directory:
cd yt-pb-calc -
Install the dependencies
pnpm i
-
Make your changes to the source code. 💫
-
Build the extensions:
chmod +x build.sh ./build.sh
This will generate a
.xpiand.crxfile inside thedist/directory.
Important
Chromium CRX
If you want auto-update then don't forget to fill the update_url field in the chrome-manifest.json
You know, there's always one more tutorial video to watch, but never enough hours before the exam.
It's 1 AM before your exam. You've got three 30-minute tutorials left:
- At normal speed: 90 minutes total
- You need to sleep in 70 minutes
- At 1.5x speed... is that 60 minutes? 45?
Your tired brain struggles with the math while the clock keeps ticking.
"Is this 60 minutes now? 45? Can I actually finish this and sleep?"
That's when I realized - in the crucial moments when every minute counts, we shouldn't waste mental energy on speed calculations. This extension was born from that midnight circus.
I am also sorry for such dry extension name :) Couldn't find any better.
