Elliot KirkIt works. There's a small stutter/pause as it adjusts to the speed for Amazon. For Hulu, it played the audio at the newer speed, but took quite a while for the animation to catch up. I had to pause/restart for that to work.  But - it does adjust the speed of playback.

    Thank you for confirming Peter Schott, does it tend to work better on Chrome still?

      Elliot KirkIt seems to respond more quickly in Chrome/FF.  When I update the playback speed, in those it takes effect immediately. Edge/Chromium has a delay before it updates the speed or perhaps stalls the video while increasing the audio until I pause/refresh.  Edge does eventually play at my new speed, but it's not smooth to get there.
