videospeed VS violentmonkey

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

I recognize that I may be contributing to your "addons have so much power" argument, but I wanted to draw your attention to ViolentMonkey <https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey#readme> which is stellar for these site-specific customizations (known as User Scripts, of which Greasemonkey was the most famous)

Since Tampermonkey seems to be misbehaving, consider using Violentmonkey.

I have no damn idea why Tampermonkey, which as very best I can tell is closed source <https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/blob/master/REA...>, is on the "blessed" Firefox for Android list when Violentmonkey <https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey#readme> is MIT, although I readily admit doesn't it have a "politically correct" name

Step 1Install violentmonkey (or your favorite user script manager)

(And yes, after that I personally pivoted to Violentmonkey. Overall it's good to have a choice :)

Sounds like a good violent monkey [0] script for you do this weekend. :)

I personally use TamperMonkey to run user-scripts and can vouch for its usefulness. Violentmonkey seems to be a popular alternative.

Toolbox is great, but if that is all you really need, here's this! You can copy and paste this as a new script to use in ViolentMonkey [AMO] or whatever script manager you use.
