This is so much better than me doing right click > inspect element > `$0.playbackRate = 1.75`

That being said, Youtube itself is pretty good at this, with the shift+> hotkey, and the recent addition of 1.75 which is the sweet spot for me.

EDIT: What I fantastic extension, has all the options I could want (exclusion list, custom hotkeys, hide by default, etc).

I have definitely been told by people that sharing this with them has significantly improved their quality of life, so I share it any chance I get. It's especially handy that it works with almost all online videos. (I have no affiliation, just a huge fan)

In fact, writing this comment inspired me to submit it as it's own top level post on HN.
