If you want the video to go twice as fast you set it to

document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 2

If you want half the speed you set it to

document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 0.5

If you want the normal speed back you set it to

document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 1

You can add this as a bookmark url so you don't need to open the console anymore, just click on the bookmark to change the speed :

javascript:(function(){document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 2}())
javascript:(function(){document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 0.5}())
javascript:(function(){document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 1}())
