Increase playback speed on any video

Raw

document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 1.5

Videos on any page using a video tag. Youtube, vimeo etc
(Right click/2 finger click on mac -> inspect element); on the video to reveal the <video></video> tag, otherwise you might get a var v = document.querySelector('video'); var t = prompt('Set the playback rate'); v.playbackRate = parseFloat(t) err.
Paste this into the console (go to console from the window that pops up from inspect element or cmd + option + i):

var v = document.querySelector('video'); 
var t = prompt('Set the playback rate'); 
v.playbackRate = parseFloat(t)

Enter a speed, e.g. 1.5 for 1.5x or 2 for 2x and enjoy.
