Not crazy at all. Problem is YouTube only goes to 2x




A fantastic app. It saves your preferences across all embedded video formats too (bar a very select few - looking at you Crunchy Roll) which means which means you don't need to reset your speed to 2x every time you delete your cookies/cache, or visit a new website!

I watch all my videos at 2x speed now and I was shocked how much time I saved. It no longer takes me most of the night to work through my YouTube notifications, and has left me so much more time for project work during the week.


I like this one more:

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-...

Because there are other options like switching off one tab when you start video in another tab, overlay if you scroll down, default quality (I have to be on 144p because of bandwidth constraints)


Been using this for years.

You can go up to 16x speed and turn on captions to speed-read through

Really just depends on how much content the video has


Thx for sharing.


You can use console in browser to control playback rate: 1. select video element with: $('video') 2. than set playbackRate property on it

example write in console: $('video').playbackRate = 3; (and playback rate would be 3x) Works with rates between 0.0625 - 16.0(tested in Chrome and FF).
