This is ALMOST perfect. I love how easy it is to adjust the speed without going into a full settings menu. The accessibility is really useful, and not something I'm accustomed to getting with browser add-ons. Big ups for that.
That said, here come my (tiny) criticisms. I've tasted the good UX and I want more: I want it to be even easier to change the speed. Opening the pop-up for each individual change still gets tedious, especially when I'm trying to Goldilocks it. So if there's a way to keep the menu open, and also some way to use up/down buttons in addition to setting a value, this would probably be my favorite extension hands-down. Still top 5 as it is, though.
