Today I learned

Also, if you hit the “?” key, it will show you over two dozen keyboard shortcuts.

You can also use the spacebar.

No idea how long it's been a feature, I only found it recently.

Now that's a pro tip! Thanks!

I watch an unhealthy amount of YouTube and never knew this. Nifty.

This is pretty new. They gave me a popup when they added it a couple months ago.

This is awesome! I'm often trying to reassemble old guns I get on the cheap to refurbish, and being mechanically challenged, I need to speed through the bits I don't need and go over and over the fine details. Be helpful for the same reason when working on my car.

Is there any way to speed it up on a Roku device?

The Enhancer for YouTube extension add some nice features as well.

Same with the Android app. It used to let you swipe left and right to move backward and forward in the video, but now it just does the 2x speed thing.

I have several JavaScript commands in a bookmark folder that speed up videos and I've noticed that almost every video is better at 1.1x speed (I have like a dozen different speeds for slower and faster set up), like it sounds normal. I'm convinced that all the people putting out 20+ minute videos are slowing them down ever so slightly to make them longer. Pair this with Sponsorblock and you can cut huge amounts of pointless time out of videos.

Can you make it skip ads? That would be the real time saver
