The Video Speed Controller browser plugin changed my life. With the key bindings you can dynamically adjust the speed to the complexity of the content and always be watching at exactly the rate you can process it.

I've been using this plugin for the longest time, I rebinded my keys to

[ speeddown

] speedup

v display speed settings

Speeds of 4x has audio cutoff, 16x is max playback speed

Also, enable captions on video helps out a lot when speeding through a video, in the event you misheard something at faster playbacks

I’ve used YouTube dl and vlc for this but sounds good as well.
