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)

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).
