Speed up video/audio on youtube

  javascript:(function() { (document.querySelector('video') || document.querySelector('audio')).playbackRate = (+prompt('How many times normal speed?') || 1); })();

Bypass paywall

  javascript:location.href='https://archive.is/?run=1&url=%27+encodeURIComponent(document.location.href)

just use video speed controller https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-contro...

I've used this extension for several years now. I honestly can't imagine browsing without it.

If it ever goes away and the same functionality isn't easily reproducible... a dark, terrible day.

I use an extension that lets me quickly jump to bookmarks and have a bunch of yt speed bookmarklets (named 1.25x, 1x, 2x etc) and it is so nice to quickly change playback speed with the keyboard

There are builtin keyboard shortcuts in the YouTube player.

  Shift+, or . for changing the speed.

They cannot be customized though.

Actually same here. I use vimium for jumping between x1, x2, etc bookmarks
