98% of the time I want it faster. I don't use arbitrary speeds but rather overshoot what I think I need (which could be based on the pace of the speaker or the time I have available) and then after a minute go down to the target speed (and sometimes rewind back to the start). Overshooting (2x) for 30/90s while wanting 1.5x will make it much easier to listen at just about any speed up to 2.5/3x.

On the off chance you were not already aware, those presets are just that. document.querySelectorAll("video").forEach(el => el.playbackRate = 3.0) but, as that snippet implies, one needs either an extension or access to the dev tools to pull it off https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/media.html#dom-media-playbackrate-dev https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/media.html#dom-media-... I also learned about https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/media.html#dom-media-preservespitch https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/media.html#dom-media-... while digging up that link Be aware that MDN reports playbackRate over 4.0 gets its audio muted https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaElement/playbackRate#:~:text=the%20audio%20is%20muted%20when%20the%20fast%20forward https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaEl...
