    Surprised to see this on a forum like lemmy considering the average techni al level of the average user here.

    Just ask ChatGPT what you can do to trick your browser into manipulating the speed of that playback. Or more.

      There was one years ago I had where all you needed was to type course.pass(true) into the console.

        Yeah, these I had one where I found a stored variable indicating whether the current video had been successfully completed lol.

        The most recent I found had a TON of obfuscation to make it more difficult. There were checks making sure the video didn’t finish in less time than the duration of the video, and another that checked to see if your account was logged in with more than one browser, and wouldn’t play videos until you closed them all.

        Was still able to change the duration variable to be ‘.1*(videoLength)’ and set the multiple instance variable to false so I could blow through them all at like 10x speed simultaneously, but they made me work for it. All of this stuff was buried in tons of what I assume was nonsense code.
