YouTube is now blocking Ad Blockers – So I just make ads run 16x faster
I can recommend this this FF extension to get fine-grained video speed control, without a 2x speed cap (which often isn't fast enough)
https://github.com/codebicycle/videospeed
It has served me well for years and works on YT ads as well as other sites with similar players

The Science of Accelerated Playback
TL;DR: faster playback translates to better engagement and retention.
Average adult reads prose text at 250 to 300 words per minute (wpm) [1]. By contrast, the average rate of speech for English speakers is ~150 wpm, with slide presentations often closer to 100 wpm. As a result, when given the choice, many viewers speed up video playback to ~1.3~1.5 its recorded rate [2] to compensate for the difference.
Many viewers report that accelerated viewing keeps their attention longer: faster delivery keeps the viewer more engaged with the content [3]. In fact, with a little training many end up watching videos at 2x+ the recorded speed. Some studies report that after being exposed to accelerated playback, listeners become uncomfortable [4] if they are forced to return to normal rate of presentation.

We're the fastest talking state in the US. I wouldn't have guessed that. Link to article in comments
Try Video Speed Controller for Chrome or Firefox. Great granular control (increments of 10% by default), and whatever they use to speed-up & slow-down maintains the audio quality much better than YouTube's default speed controller. PLUS it works on almost all modern video players (not just YT).

Ask HN: Does anyone know the idiot decided gray txt on white bg was a good ideea
I totally forgot about the atrocious default HN theme. Yeah that's unreasonable, unreadable. A low-contrast light theme is literally equivalent to shining a flashlight in your eyes. Only unreasonable people do that to others (e.g. the police).
If you use Firefox, I recommend the Dark Reader[1] extension for taking care of all the websites that insist on destroying your eyes.
