Vidimote for Safari

Vidimote is a Safari extension that adds playback controls to supported HTML5 web videos.

Our take

Choose for finer browser-video control.

Speed increments, seeking and adjusted remaining-time display make long web videos easier to navigate.

Keep in mind: Website behavior varies, and the developer does not guarantee compatibility with every embedded video.

What you can do

  • Adjust speed up to double playback
  • Jump forward or back ten seconds
  • View speed-adjusted remaining time
  • Use supported picture-in-picture and fullscreen
  • Mute and seek web videos

Good for

  • Safari users watching lectures or other long videos

Consider alternatives for

  • Users needing universal control of native streaming apps

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • Website behavior varies, and the developer does not guarantee compatibility with every embedded video.

Privacy & permissions

A Safari extension requires website access to operate; review enabled sites and avoid broader permissions than needed.
