I can typically consume content much faster than real-times speed, so I have a Chrome extension that allows me to speed up all videos. It’s called Video Speed Controller.
I have it set on 1.5 speed by default, but normally bump it up to 2 or 2.5 depending on the type of video.
And if the plugin doesn’t work for a certain type of player, I normally download it to my computer and watch it with Elmedia Player, as that also has controls to speed up playback.
