TIL that holding a left mouse button pressed over a youtube video, speeds it up x2 until you release the button (discuss.tchncs.de)

Is this a common knowledge? Is this an old feature? I accidentally found about it few days ago.

You can also use the spacebar.

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

Wait, didn't spacebar pause the video for awhile? I haven't used desktop YouTube in a hot minute, so I might be completely misremembering or conflating it with a VLC hotkey.

It does if you tap it, but holding down speeds up the video.
