YouTube has a speed changer built in. I'm curious what your extension would add.
- satvikpendem 2y agoHigher speeds than 2x. I usually watch at 3x and sometimes more (sometimes with captions turned on). Keyboard shortcuts as well, as others have mentioned.
- arccy 2y agothe built in one has keyboard shortcuts too: < and >
- satvikpendem 2y agoThere are more advanced keyboard shortcuts than just that when using an extension like YouTube Enhancer which includes the aforementioned higher speeds.
- powerhugs 2y agoSponsorBlock specifically blocks sponsor segments in YT videos.
- wazoox 2y agoNot the op but the extension I'm using adds 3 very mportant features : * default to my preferred speed (2×) * keyboard shortcuts to change speed on the fly as needed * arbitrary speeds up to 4×
- eMPee584 2y agowith youtube enhancer (there's also an open source one i wanted to check out but haven't yet) f.e. one can add a speed icon in interface on which the scroll wheel works, allowing dynamic speed adjuistment which, accompanied with [cursor left] to jump back a bit and [number keys] to jump to 0-90% position is amazing for extracting info. Also, muting videos, turning on captions and rushing through them without the mindfsck is a soul saver often times. Our current attention economy with its commercialization incentives hopefully is just a toxic glitch in history..
- JoeDaDude 2y agoRIP the Ad Accelerator, which would up the speed upon detection of an ad. Youtube has found a way around it and it no longer works. https://github.com/rkk3/ad-accelerator https://github.com/rkk3/ad-accelerator
