videospeed VS old-reddit-redirect

However, I have found a partial solution. Using the "video speed controller"(link) extension you can instead speed up ads so they last only a few seconds.

Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-controller/nffaoalbilbmmfgbnbgppjihopabppdk

just use video speed controller https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-contro...

For those who didn't knew about this, but you can use an extension like Video Speed Controller to seek through playing ads with a button press.

Video Speed Controller - This one has been a must for me. It changes the speed of a video using keyboard shortcuts. I have it set to increase the speed by 1x each time I push the "d" key, and decrease it by 1x when I push the "s" key. I also have it set to go to 4x speed when I push the "g" key. In addition, the extension contains additional functionality that lets you skip around in a video, I have it set to a minute, using shortcut keys. This is a great addition I use sometimes to YouTube's default 5 and 10 second skip times. One thing to note - this extension works on ALL videos on ALL websites, but note you can set it to only work on YouTube. Video Speed Controller - Chrome Web Store (google.com)

For example, if you use the Video Speed Controller extension on Chrome and want to automate its setup, you can use this command:

Video Speed Controller

On a semi-related note, you can control the speed of almost any streaming video on any chromium based browser with this extension: Video Speed Controller

Sorry this doesn't answer the question you asked, but why not use the old reddit redirect extension?

Has been tested with other extensions disabled, but for context, I use Old Reddit Redirect and RES

I have a browser addon installed (chrome/firefox, link for anyone interested) that redirects to old reddit even when logged out e.g. in private windows, and it works perfectly 👌

I just use this extension to redirect it, also have RES setup along with Masstagger. On the phone I use RIF.

This breaks the Old Reddit Redirect extension, which uses this redirect mechanism to gracefully redirect direct links to galleries to the full old reddit post. See https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect/issues/72 for more context.
