Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to speed up or slow down any video in safari on iphone / ipad.

Do you want to speed up or slow down video playback on a website where the feature isn’t supported? As long as you use Safari to browse the web on your iPhone or iPad, there’s a nifty Shortcuts workaround that you can use to adjust the video playback speed according to your liking.

Popular video streaming platforms like YouTube allow users to conveniently change the video playback speed from the player itself. Unfortunately, a lot of websites don’t support this feature and you may have noticed that you’re unable to change the speed of all the videos that you’re watching in Safari. Well, this particular iOS shortcut has managed to address this issue. You can install and use it to speed up or slow down pretty much any video within Safari.

The Shortcuts app has been really helpful in bringing features that aren’t natively available in iOS/iPadOS and this time is no different. Here, we’ll be taking a look at how you can use the Shortcuts app to speed up or slow down any video in Safari.

How to Speed Up or Slow Down Any Video in Safari with Shortcuts

For those who aren’t aware, the iOS Shortcuts app is pre-installed on devices running the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS. However, if you’re iPhone or iPad running an earlier version, you’ll need to download it from the App Store . Once you’re done, simply follow these steps:

That’s it. The video will resume playing at the speed you selected using the shortcut.

Note that you can speed up the video to a maximum of 2x, but you can only slow it down to 0.8x using this particular shortcut. In comparison, the YouTube player lets you slow videos down to 0.25x.

What makes this Shortcut unique is the fact that you can run it from the iOS share sheet. You don’t need to open the Shortcuts app at all, unlike several other shortcut actions. Hence, it feels like a feature that’s natively built into iOS rather than a third-party solution.

The Gallery section of the Shortcuts app is a home to several other handy shortcuts too. For example, you can install the Convert Burst to GIF shortcut to make a GIF from your burst photos . Apart from the Gallery, you also have access to hundreds of other user-created shortcuts as long as you’ve allowed the installation of untrusted shortcuts on your device . Shortcuts is a pretty handy app, so don’t miss some of the great tricks you can do with it .

Did you speed up or slow down video playback in Safari on your iPhone or iPad? What’s your take on this nifty shortcut? How often do you find this shortcut useful and on what websites do you need it?

How do you slow it down to less than .8?

I get the same “there are not videos” problem, looks like something broke

You are amazing!! Thanks for sharing this with me

Great information and I fix my issue for a long time

Thank you very much

I found it!! But it says there are no videos on the page even though there is a video playing. How to get around this error ? Is it because the video is embedded?

There’s no “Share Sheet Shortcuts” in iOS 14.6

Look for the “Share Sheet Shortcuts” or you can use the search bar and find the shortcut by typing in “Change Video Speed”.

20 Best Safari Browser Extensions (Free and Paid)

Password management doesn’t have to be a hassle when you have a smart password manager always ready to get the job done for you.

You can use it to create strong passwords that are a hard nut to crack, access your information securely, and share them with the needed safeguard.

3. TranslateMe for Safari – Translate Web Pages on the Fly

The built-in Safari Translation is one of the highlights of macOS Big Sur along with the iOS-style control center , iMessage effects , and the smart battery settings that allow you to keep track of the battery consumption. While I have found the built-in translation quite efficient, it is nowhere near as versatile as that of Google Translation. That aside, it is currently available only in a few countries and supports just a handful of languages.

4. Save to Pocket – Save Your Favorite Stories for Later

5. Ghostery Lite – Keep Ads and Cookies at Bay

What I love the most about this ad-blocker is the ability to keep the smoothness of Safari intact. That means your browsing won’t feel sluggish even after Ghostery Lite is in action. Notably, it features custom settings that allow you to choose specific tracker categories to block or unblock as per your needs. Everything considering, it’s among the top Safari extensions for blocking trackers.

Whenever I come across something really interesting, I like to share it with friends and loved ones. That’s the time when I need to shorten the URL to make the sharing look neat. While there are so many sites like Bitly and URL Shortener that allow you to shorten URLs easily, having a handy tool always ready to get the job done faster is something I prefer to have. That’s where Short Menu comes into play.

15. Tailwind Publisher – Schedule Posts for Instagram and Pinterest Fast

16. RSS Button for Safari – Discover and Subscribe to RSS

macOS: Speedifier Lets You Control Video Speed In Safari

Speedifier is a Mac app that lets you control video speed in Safari for HTML5 videos. You can use the extension on any website. Speedifier was developed by Arno Appenzeller, a part-time Mac and iOS indie developer from Germany.

Controlling Video Playback

Speedifier is really a Safari extension, but Arno decided to package it as an app so he could sell it on the Mac App Store . It costs US$1.99, which is a steal considering what it can do for you. After installing the app, open Safari > Preferences > Extensions to enable the extension.

There are three speeds to choose from:

• Slower: -0.25x
• Normal: 1.0x
• Faster: +0.25x

The next time you’re watching an HTML5 video—the majority of web videos use this format now—just right click to control video speed. I tested this on a wide variety of websites and didn’t run into any issues.

In a growing list of selected websites, Speedifier will give you a dedicated button on the video. So far, Speedifier adds a button to these websites:

• Wall Street Journal
• Prime Video

If a video needs an external plugin like Silverlight or Flash, Speedifier doesn’t support it. You can request that a Speedifier be added to a website you want by emailing Arno at [email protected] .

4K video streaming

See your favorite shows and films in their best light. Safari supports in-browser 4K HDR video playback for YouTube, Netflix, and Apple TV+. 5 And it runs efficiently for longer-lasting battery life.

Privacy is built in.

Online privacy isn’t just something you should hope for — it’s something you should expect. That’s why Safari comes with industry-leading privacy protection technology built in, including Intelligent Tracking Prevention that identifies trackers and helps prevent them from profiling or following you across the web. Upgrading to iCloud+ gives you even more privacy protections, including the ability to sign up for websites and services without having to share your personal email address.

Intelligent Tracking Prevention

Safari stops trackers in their tracks.

What you browse is no one’s business but your own. Safari has built‑in protections to help stop websites and data-collection companies from watching and profiling you based on your browsing activity. Intelligent Tracking Prevention uses on‑device intelligence to help prevent cross‑site tracking and stops known trackers from using your IP address — making it incredibly difficult to learn who you are and what you’re interested in.

Privacy Report

Safari makes it simple to see how your privacy is protected on all the websites you visit. Click Privacy Report in the Safari menu for a snapshot of cross-site trackers currently prevented from profiling you on the website you’re visiting. Or view a weekly Privacy Report to see how Safari protects you as you browse over time.

Customization

Putting the you in url..

Safari is more customizable than ever. Organize your tabs into Tab Groups so it’s easy to go from one interest to the next. Set a custom background image and fine-tune your browser window with your favorite features — like Reading List, Favorites, iCloud Tabs, and Siri Suggestions. And third-party extensions for iPhone, iPad, and Mac let you do even more with Safari, so you can browse the way you want across all your devices.

Safari Profiles allow you to separate your history, extensions, Tab Groups, favorites, cookies, and more. Quickly switch between profiles for topics you create, like Personal and Work.

Web apps let you save your favorite websites to the Dock on Mac and to the Home Screen on iPhone and iPad. A simplified toolbar and separate settings give you an app-like experience.

Safari Extensions add functionality to your browser to help you explore the web the way you want. Find and add your favorite extensions in the dedicated Safari category on the App Store.

Save and organize your tabs in the way that works best for you. Name your Tab Groups, edit them, and switch among them across devices. You can also share Tab Groups — making planning your next family trip or group project easier and more collaborative.

Smart Tools

Designed to help your work flow..

Built-in tools create a browsing experience that’s far more immersive, intuitive, and immediate. Get detailed information about a subject in a photo with just a click, select text within any image, instantly translate an entire web page, and quickly take notes wherever you are on a site — without having to switch apps.

Notes is your go-to app to capture any thought. And with the Quick Note feature, you can instantly jot down ideas as you browse websites without having to leave Safari.

Translation

Translate entire web pages with a single click. You can also get translations for text in images and paused video without leaving Safari.

Interact with text in any image or paused video on the web using functions like copy and paste, translate, and lookup. 6

Visual Look Up

Quickly learn more about landmarks, works of art, breeds of dogs, and more with only a photo or an image you find online. And easily lift the subject of an image from Safari, remove its background, and paste it into Messages, Notes, or other apps.

Surf safe and sound.

Strong security protections in Safari help keep you safe. Passkeys introduce a safer way to sign in. iCloud Keychain securely stores and autofills passkeys and passwords across all your devices. Safari also notifies you when it encounters suspicious websites and prevents them from loading. Because it loads each web page in a separate process, any harmful code is always confined to a single browser tab so it won’t crash the entire application or access your data. And Safari automatically upgrades sites from HTTP to the more secure HTTPS when available.

Passkeys introduce a more secure and easier way to sign in. No passwords required.

Passkeys are end-to-end encrypted and safe from phishing and data leaks, and they are stronger than all common two-factor authentication types. Thanks to iCloud Keychain, they work across all your Apple devices, and they even work on non-Apple devices.

Learn more about passkeys

Apple Pay and Wallet make checkout as easy as lifting a finger.

Apple Pay is the easiest and most secure way to shop on Safari — allowing you to complete transactions with Face ID or Touch ID on your iPhone or iPad, with Touch ID on your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, or by double-clicking the side button on your Apple Watch.

Learn more about Apple Pay

With AutoFill, you can easily fill in your previously saved credit card information from the Wallet app during checkout. Your credit card details are never shared, and your transactions are protected with industry-leading security.

Same Safari. Different device.

Safari works seamlessly and syncs your passwords, bookmarks, history, tabs, and more across Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. And when your Mac, iOS, or iPadOS devices are near each other, they can automatically pass what you’re doing in Safari from one device to another using Handoff. You can even copy images, video, or text from Safari on your iPhone or iPad, then paste into another app on your nearby Mac — or vice versa.

When you use Safari on multiple devices, your tabs carry over from one Apple device to another. So you can search, shop, work, or browse on your iPhone, then switch to your iPad or Mac and pick up right where you left off.

Save web pages you want to read later by adding them to your Reading List. Then view them on any of your iCloud-connected devices — even if you’re not connected to the internet.

iCloud Keychain securely stores your user names, passkeys, passwords, and credit card numbers and keeps them up to date on your trusted devices. So you can easily sign in to your favorite websites — as well as apps on iOS and iPadOS — and quickly make online purchases.

Designed for developers.

Deep WebKit integration between Mac hardware and macOS allows Safari to deliver the fastest performance and the longest battery life of any browser on the platform, while supporting modern web standards for rich experiences in the browser. WebKit in macOS Sonoma includes optimizations that enable even richer browsing experiences, and give developers more control over styling and layout — allowing for more engaging content.

Make Safari your default browser

Customize your start page, view your browsing privacy report, monitor your saved passwords, use apple pay in safari, view your tabs across all your devices, read the safari user guide, get safari support.

20 Best Safari Extensions that You Should Use

Here are the best Safari extensions you can use to manage your passwords, highlight content, block ads, and do more to enhance your browsing experience.

The extension portfolio of Safari is still in its nascent stage when compared to  Chrome or Firefox’s extension catalog. After the move to Safari 12, when Apple desecrated the old Safari extensions, developers have been catching up and releasing new extensions for Safari. With the introduction of Safari extension support for iOS and iPadOS, I assume more developers will get on this train. I use Safari for most of my browsing needs, and there are a couple of extensions that help enhance my experience. If you are primarily a Safari user, here are the best Safari extensions you should use in 2022.

Best Safari extensions that work in 2022

Before we see our list of Safari extensions, let's first learn how to uninstall and install Safari extensions. If you already know this, you can use the table of content below to move to the relevant section.

How to install and enable Safari extensions

How to uninstall safari extensions.

• AdGuard AdBlocker
• Read it later service extensions
• DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
• Honey for Safari
• Popcorn for Safari
• Dark Mode for Safari
• Speed Player for Safari
• Liner - Web and PDF Highlighter
• Web Clipper extensions
• 1Blocker for Safari
• Turn Off the Lights
• Hover for Safari
• Raindrop.io for Safari
• Password manager extensions
• SmileAllDay
• URL Linker for Safari
• RSS Button for Safari
• about:blank

Before the Safari 12 update, you could easily download the installation file, double click on it and the extension would start running on Safari. Now, the steps have become different. You have to specifically enable the extensions even after you have installed them. So follow the steps and learn how you can install and enable Safari extensions:

• All the Safari extensions are now available in the App Store. So, you can either search from them in the App Store or click on the links provided in this article to open the App Store page.
• Once the extension is open in the App Store, install it like you install any other software from the App Store.
• Once installed, open Safari Preferences (⌘,) and click on the "Extensions" tab . Here, enable the extension by clicking on the checkbox. Your extension will now show up in Safari.

Note that since Safari extensions are mini Mac apps, you will have to launch them if they are not set to launch at login. Just click on the extension's icon in Safari and click on the "Run" button.

If you don't want to do this every time you restart your Mac, you have to enable all the extensions as login items. You can do that by either going to each extensions preferences and finding and turning on the "Launch "extension name" for Safari at Login" or going to System Preferences → Users & Groups → Login Items and adding all the extensions one by one by clicking on the "+" button and selecting them.

If you are on the latest macOS Ventura operating system, go to Apple Menu → System Settings → General → Login Items and add the extensions.

To uninstall a Safari extension, launch Safari and open preferences (⌘,). Click on the extension tab and then on the extension you want to uninstall. Here, click on the "Uninstall" button to remove it from Safari.

Now that you know everything about installing, enabling, and uninstalling Safari extensions. Let's check out the list of best Safari extensions.

List of best Safari extensions for Mac

As of right now, there are less than 100 extensions on the App Store. We have tested most of these extensions (at least the ones which were worth testing) and create this list of best Mac Safari extension list for you.

1. AdGuard AdBlocker

Let’s start with the first extension that everybody installs on every browser that they use. By the way, if you are not using one right now, you definitely should. The internet is full of knowledge but that knowledge comes with a lot of ads. In some part, we consumers are to blame as it’s in our nature to want to get everything for free. But nothing is free and we all know it. Websites earn money by showing ads on them and while I don’t mind ads as they support the creators, some of them just become greedy and put up too many intrusive ads.

AdGuard AdBlocker can help you block ads from all those mischievous websites. It also blocks the tracking pixels hosted on various websites which are good for your privacy. Don't forget to whitelist the websites which show normal ads to earn money to support their existence. To whitelist a website, open it on your Safari and then click on the AdGuard extension icon. Now, disable it by unchecking the "Enabled on this Website" option.

Install e xtension: free

2. Read it later service extensions

While Safari comes with a built-in “Reading List” feature, Apple has turned a blind eye to it. The feature is half-baked and although it lets you save articles for offline reading (to turn on offline reading go to Preferences → Advanced → Reading List), there’s no way to categorize the articles. There is no search or sorting of articles by websites. If you want all these features and more then you should use a read it later service. And there’s none better than Instapaper and Pocket. Over the years, I have switched between the two apps and like them both.

They both come with an exceptional offline feature that quickly saves your article offline. They both offer iOS apps so you can sync articles across devices. And they both let you search and organize your articles so its easier to find them. All these basic features are available in the free plan. If you want more advanced features like text-to-speech, speed reading, full contextual search, unlimited notes, and more, you can subscribe to their paid plans. Instapaper costs $2.99/month or $29.99/year while Pocket costs more at $4.99/month or $49.99/year.

Install extension : Pocket ( Free ) / Instapaper ( Free )

3. DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials

DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials tool is a great Safari extension for people who want to be safe online. Not only it blocks hidden third-party trackers on the websites you visit but it also gives you a privacy dashboard showing you how enhanced security a website brings. It provides each website with a privacy score that comes in handy when you are deep into your internet research. If a website’s score is too low you will know better than to download files off it or purchase a product. I also love that the extensions also improves the privacy of websites you are visiting wherever possible.

The tracking blocker saves you from being tracked by third-party trackers so you don’t see the same ads everywhere based on your purchase or browsing history. Overall, this is an essential tool you should keep in your bag. Note that this only works with macOS Catalina. As you can see, my download button is greyed out as I have not upgraded my work laptop to macOS Catalina yet. If you have also not upgraded your Mac, you should use the Ghostery Lite extension mentioned below.

Install extension : free

4. Honey for Safari

If you want to save money while shopping online then this is the extension that you should install. Honey is a coupon aggregator Safari extension that finds and applies the best coupons at checkout so you can get the best discounts. Honey supports thousands of popular websites including e-commerce websites such as Amazon, Best Buy, and eBay, travel websites like Expedia, food ordering websites like Pizza Hut, and independent brands like Adidas, Macy’s, and more. This is saving done right. The extension sits quietly in the corner and comes to life when you are ordering something saving you tens of dollars every single time.

Another such extension that promises the same features is Rakuten. Rakuten offers both discounts and cashback options. It also searches for the products that you are buying online in other stores to get you the best possible deal. That being said, I have just discovered this extension and am not sure how good it works. You can install it to see which of the two offers you a better deal.

Instal l extension : Honey for Safari ( free ) / Rakuten ( free )

5. Popcorn for Safari

If you are a Netflix subscriber, this is a must-have extension for you. Netflix has a massive catalog of shows and movies, and it’s hard to choose the next show you are going to binge-watch. Popcorn extension for Safari solves this issue by adding IMDb and Metascore ratings on Netflix. All you need to do is install the extension and click on a Netflix title to see it in the expanded view. You will see the IMDb and Metascore ratings of the title, which act as a good indicator of whether the movie or TV show is worth watching or not.

6. Dark Mode for Safari

If you are like me and prefer to browse the web in dark mode at night, you must have this extension. While many websites have incorporated a dark mode view (including ours), there are thousands of websites that do not support dark mode. The Dark Mode extension for Safari forces the content to appear in dark mode. It is useful when browsing the web at night as it makes the reading experience more pleasing to the eyes. You can start the extension manually or schedule it or turn it on automatically when macOS dark mode becomes active. I use the automatic function as it triggers as soon as macOS shifts to dark mode in the evening.

Install extension : $2.99

7. Speed Player for Safari

I love the Speed Player extension for Safari as it lets me choose the playback speed for any media on the web. There are several kinds of videos like podcasts, interviews, etc., which can be played at a higher speed while still retaining the legibility of the content. For such videos, you can use the Speed Player extension. It will save a lot of time and help you consume more media than you thought possible.

8. Liner - Web and PDF Highlighter

Liner is a very helpful tool for someone who likes to read and share content on the internet. There are times when we come across articles that are worth sharing, however, we know that nobody is going to read the whole article. What if there was a way to share articles with the most important parts already highlighted. If you have ever used Medium, you will know what I am talking about. Well, Liner brings that functionality to the whole of the internet.

Whenever you are reading an article, click on the Liner extension icon. A dialogue box will open instantly telling you that the “Highlight Mode” is on. Now you can drag and drop any part of the article to highlight the text. The dialogue box will also create a custom link for that article which you can share in any way as you like. Once someone clicks on the link, it will open the article you were reading with all the highlighted lines in place. It’s cool to have if you want to share articles with already highlighted important parts.

Liner also saves all the highlights in your account so you can get back to articles when you want. I have found this handy when doing research for an article or for my work. Not only I collect important articles but all the good parts are already highlighted so I don’t have to re-read the entire article. The extension is free to use with limitations. If you want more features and no limits you can upgrade to the paid plan that costs $95.99/year. That said, the free plan will suffice the needs of most users.

9. Evernote Web Clipper

One of the extensions that I missed most when Safari 12 deprecated the old extension system was the Evernote web clipper. So much of my research depends on collecting articles and links from the web, and Evernote is my go-to choice for saving them. Thankfully, the Evernote web clipper for Safari is finally here. It lets you save web pages, PDFs, and articles from the web into your Evernote account with just a single click. There are many note-taking apps that offer web-clippers, so install the one that corresponds to your note-taking app.

Install extension :   free

10. Grammarly

Now that we have gotten the reading experience covered, let’s make our writing experience a little better on the web. Grammarly is a popular Safari extension that detects your grammatical mistakes on the fly.

11. 1Blocker for Safari

1Blocker is a popular iOS app that gives you an ad-free and tracking-free internet experience on mobile devices. A few months back, the service switched to a subscription model and introduced a Mac app along with a Safari extension.

You also get to see a list of everything that it’s blocking.

1Blocker can block ads, tracking pixels, cookie notices, cryptocurrency mining, annoying website widgets, and even comments, if you don’t want to see them. For few bucks a month, you can essentially safeguard yourself from getting tracked across devices and you have full control over it.

12. Turn Off the Lights

Turn Off the Lights is a great little Safari extension which allows you to watch videos on Safari without any distraction. On video streaming websites like YouTube, Vimeo, and more, if you are not using the full-screen mode, there's a ton of distracting elements around that video. Turn off the Light helps you hide those distractive elements by creating a fade over the entire page (see the picture below for reference).

Using the extension is pretty straight forward. Just click on the extension icon when you are watching a video and it will fade the entire background. You can also adjust the color and intensity of the fade among other things. To customize the effect double click on the icon and it will bring the menu. This is a helpful Safari extension and you should check it out.

13. Hover for Safari

Hover is a nifty little extension which allows users to hover over any image, video, or link and see a preview of the content.

The types of content supported by Hover include thumbnail images, links to image galleries, links to videos services, links to images & videos, and links to any website. I won’t say it’s a must-have extension, but it is a useful one.

10 Safari Mac Browser Tips to Boost Speed and Performance

If Safari is running slow, try these top tips to get your Mac browser blazing fast again.

Safari generally provides the fastest and most efficient browsing experience for Mac users. Apple puts a lot of work into optimizing the browser's performance and energy consumption specifically for Apple hardware.

Unfortunately, this doesn't always hold up over time. Safari can become slow, bloated, and unresponsive like any other browser. Let's take a look at how to speed up Safari on your Mac in case this happens to you.

1. Update and Restart Your Mac

Restarting your computer fixes many of life's problems, including a slow browser. It should always be your first troubleshooting step for such issues. Open the Apple menu and select Restart to do so.

Once your Mac boots up, it's also worth installing any outstanding app updates , which you can find by going to App Store > Updates .

2. Close Unneeded Tabs

How many tabs do you have open right now? And how many of those tabs do you really need? Safari keeps many of your tabs active in the background, even if you're not using them. One of the easiest ways to speed up Safari on your Mac is by simply closing tabs.

If you're particularly protective of your browser session, try an extension like Tab Suspender . This allows you to suspend your open tabs to save processing power.

3. Clear the Cache and Temporary Files

Like almost all browsers, Safari keeps a cache of data from all the websites you visit. This takes up disk space, which can contribute to performance problems. It's always a good idea to blow away Safari's cobwebs once in a while by emptying the cache, particularly if you need to improve the browser's performance.

To clear your Safari cache:

• Launch Safari and click Safari > Preferences in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
• Click on the Advanced tab, then check Show Develop menu in menu bar at the bottom of the window.
• Close the Preferences window and click Develop > Empty Caches in the menu bar at the top of the screen.

4. Disable Thirsty Extensions

Safari has some excellent extensions available to install, but sometimes they do more harm than good by slowing everything down. This is particularly true for extensions that directly affect the browsing experience. A good example is TamperMonkey ($1.99), which changes how websites appear and behave with user scripts.

To isolate extension-related slowdown, try disabling all your extensions under Safari > Preferences > Extensions . To disable an extension, uncheck the box next to its name.

You can then try re-enabling extensions one by one to find the culprit.

Disabling extensions in this manner doesn't remove them. You'll need to click the Uninstall button in each entry on the Extensions tab to completely remove Safari extensions .

5. Restrict Plug-Ins and Website Access

Apple has been working to eliminate plug-ins from Safari, but they might still cause your browser to slow down on rare occasions. This is most likely if you're running an older version of Safari.

It's best to ensure plug-ins ask you before Safari starts running them. The same goes for allowing access to your Mac's camera, microphone, screen sharing, and other security settings.

Go to Safari > Preferences > Websites to see which websites have requested access to your Mac. Work through each item in the sidebar and disable access for any websites that don't need it. We particularly recommend disabling auto-play.

In older versions of Safari, you should also go to Safari > Preferences > Security > Plug-In Settings . Make sure plug-ins are set to Ask before they start running. Disable any you don't need by unchecking them. These settings aren't available in newer versions of Safari.

6. Upgrade macOS

Yearly macOS upgrades include new versions of Safari. If you don't install the latest version of macOS, you won't have the latest version of Safari. New versions of Safari mean better compatibility with the latest web technologies.

Apple's tweaking under the hood often results in faster rendering times and a speedier browser experience overall.

There's also something to be said for upgrading your operating system since many underlying issues with your Mac get patched up along the way.

To update macOS, open the Apple menu and go to System Preferences > Software Update .

7. Identify Dodgy Websites and Crashed Tabs

Safari can slow to a crawl as a result of a single problematic website. Websites can crash for all sorts of reasons, including too many scripts, auto-playing advertisements, rogue extensions, and malfunctioning embeds. Occasionally, this can bring your whole Mac to a grinding halt.

Sometimes these pages consume more than their fair share of resources; other times they crash entirely and leave you with the spinning pinwheel of death. To rectify the situation:

• Launch Activity Monitor under Applications > Utilities .
• On the CPU tab, click on the Process Name column to arrange processes by name and find Safari .
• Now look at the % CPU column and systematically close your Safari tabs to see which ones have the biggest impact on your CPU usage.

8. Make Sure You Have Enough Free Space

A lack of free space on your disk can have devastating consequences for your Mac's overall performance. A Mac with limited free space is more likely to freeze, stutter, and crash. This can cause your whole system to run slowly, but Safari is often one of the first apps to buckle as individual resource-intensive tabs become unresponsive.

For best results, maintain a healthy buffer of 10GB or more of free space. Follow our tips for freeing up space on your Mac if you run out of options.

9. Fix Other macOS Performance Problems

Boosting overall system performance also speeds up Safari on your Mac. This is because there are fewer resources tied up in non-critical tasks, so more of them are available for Safari.

Take a look at these common mistakes that might slow down your Mac . They include having too many apps running in the background or starting up at login, which you can change by going to System Preferences > Users > Login Items .

10. Check for Network Connection Problems

If your internet connection is slow, Safari will also feel slow. To isolate connection problems, find out how to test your internet connection speed to see if that's to blame.

You might need to change your DNS settings to fix it, which you can do by going to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS . Use Google's Namebench to find the fastest DNS settings for your network.

Keep a Backup Browser Installed Just in Case

Although you can follow all the tips above to speed up Safari on your Mac, it's also worth keeping a backup browser installed as well. These are useful to have for stubborn websites that aren't optimized for Safari or in case you need to use a browser extension that's only available on one browser.

Step1 Press the Speed icon after selecting the video in the toolbar just above the timeline. Choose the option for Uniform Speed.

Step2 Move the Speed slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the playback speed.

Step3 Select the Play button in the Preview box or use the Spacebar to get a glimpse of the changes. To apply the modifications, hit OK in the lower right corner.

Method 2: Speed Customization

Using Speed Ramping , where the playback rate of a clip varies interactively, you may produce adjustable speed effects in addition to continuous speed variations in Uniform Speed. Multiple playback velocities can be adjusted for each segment of the video.

Step1 You will see a few options after selecting the movie in the timeline, clicking the Speed symbol, and choosing the Speed Ramping option. The options are as follows:

• Customize : Five-speed points, by default, let you set the speed precisely how you like.
• Hero Moment : There are eight-speed intervals in the video's playback rate, representing a regular, fast, slow, fast, and standard rhythm: 1.0x, 1.0x, 5.4x, 0.5x, 0.5x, 5.4x, 1.0x, and 1.0x.
• Montage : The various (six) speed levels in the video's playback speed—0.9x, 0.9x, 6.9x, 0.3x, and 1.0x—present a slow, slow, fast, slow, and regular pace.
• Bullet Time : There are six different speed levels in the video's playback speed, representing a fast, fast, slow, fast, fast rhythm: 5.2x, 5.2x, 0.5x, 5.2x, and 5.2x.
• Flash in: The chosen video has four-speed points: 5.2x, 5.2x, 1x, and 1x, which display a fast, fast, normal, normal rhythm.

There are other options like a flash out and jumper, too, later on.

Step2 To use variable video speed, just choose one of the presets and alter it as necessary. Speed changes will continue to work until the Play head reaches the next speed point. The Play head will progressively shift between the speed points with the video's speed.

• Change the section's coverage area : To alter the area implementing the speed, drag your speed point to the left or right.
• Removing the speed point : Choose it and press the Plus - button to delete a speed point.
• Add speed point : To add a speed point, move the play head to the location where you wish to adjust the speed, and then click the Plus + symbol on the left.

There are other options available too.

Step3 To view a preview of the video's alterations, use the Spacebar or hit the Play option in the Preview screen. To save your changes, press OK. By selecting Save as a custom option, you could also save the speed ramping configuration.

Since we don't have enough space to discuss every element of the software, we only concentrated on the key video speed controller features that make it worthwhile.

Whether you're a video editor who wants to enhance your video performance or a student/employee who wants to save time and understand better while watching educational and instructional videos, using a video speed controller will come in handy in all such scenarios.

Apart from slowing down and speeding up the video, the speed control extensions also become beneficial with exceptional features like rewinding, etc., so you never miss out on something important.

For professional video editing, it's best to leverage the Filmora tool, as it comes with one of the best built-in video speed controllers. If not, you can try and use any of the extensions mentioned above as per your browser. However, these extensions will serve best for generic and day-to-day usage purposes.

So, decide wisely.

如何用Mac自带的safari浏览器在B站上多倍速播放（超过2倍速）？

Mac app store 有speed player，safari插件，免费，目前我找到的最好的自定义速播放控制器。不知为何Chrome没有支持HLS视频的，这个反而可以。只是自定义速播放的话油猴的脚本也可以。可以自定义速度，也有预设，有设置视频时长自动触发的功能，以及保持音调。

用油猴（tampermokey）插件运行脚本就行了。

1.到网上下载油猴（mac版），这里不展开了。

2.在safari中的首选项中勾选tampermonkey插件。

3.然后在safari左上角的油猴插件中点击”寻找新的脚本“。

4.然后在弹出的页面点击GreasyFork，进入一个脚本平台，上面有很多世界各地的开发者制作的脚本。

5.进入上一步的网页之后，在中央的搜索框输入”哔哩哔哩倍速“。因为默认是展示英文的结果，所以要点击”Show results for all languages."

6.然后找到我们B站小伙伴开发的标题为“自定义哔哩哔哩视频播放速度,记住播放速度、位置"的脚本。

7.进去之后，点击”install this script"，安装此脚本。如果是第一次安装脚本的话，网页可能会提示你要先安装油猴插件，因为我们已经安装了，我们点击那个“我已经安装了/ I have already installed it"的按钮即可。进去之后还会有一个”install“的按钮，点击之后就完成了。正如开发者在脚本页面的描述那样操作即可，可以利用快捷键调整视频的播放速度。c加速，x减速，z恢复正常速度

8. 我自己是设置成了d加速，s减速，a恢复1倍速。然后每次按快捷键的幅度改成0.5。只要从油猴插件里面进入此脚本进行简单的编辑和保存就行了。
