Does exactly one thing and appears to do it very well! It has finer speed adjustments than the defaults in the video player, AND can set the speed to *faster* than 2x! I've tried 3x and it works perfectly, although it's really hard to keep up with for obvious reasons. This addon is such a nice quality of life improvement!

It sort of works, sometimes. Often times the video will start off at the preset speed, but about 30 seconds in, drop back to standard 1.0 speed. If you use the same tab to start another video (click on related etc.) it never works and will always play at the last speed youtube thinks it played at (1.0 unless you've manually adjusted it), so more often than not, this doesn't work. It's nice when it randomly chooses to though. Hopefully the developer fixes the bugs.
