Only problem is to find enough time to watch them

@Marko_Petrovic I still have not discovered a way to have more than 24 hours per day, but when it comes to online videos, I watch most YouTube videos on 3x or 3.5x speed

document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].playbackRate = 3.5
Change the 3.5 at the end to 3.0 to slow it down. The maximum is 3.99 before YouTube begins to skip frames

1. ctrl/⌘ + i in Google Chrome → opens developer console
2. click console tab in top right
3. [optional] click in top right → clears alerts
4. ctrl/⌘ + v → document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].playbackRate = 3.5
5. press enter
6. close Google Chrome developer console in top right
7. press play on YouTube video
8. 

*for Vimeo videos: if ctrl/⌘ + i does not work … right click on the video embedded in the page and click “inspect”
