Alternatives:

Firefox, YT only: https://www.mrfdev.com/enhancer-for-youtube The improved playback speed ranges from 25% to 400% (also 800% but without audio) in adjustable increments.

For offline videos, VLC also is capable of changing playback speed.

Are there video players or plugins having "dynamic" speedup? Like, playing everything faster by a fixed amount isn't optimal. Maybe the words could be said 3x faster, the breaks between words however be kept at 1.5x faster as to not make it one big mush, and space between sentences some third amount.

Edit: I see some podcasts app have something similar (albeit opposite). It shortens dead space between two people talking and try to not affect the speed of their speech.
