Firefox is an essential project. I am so god damn happy that this has been fixed. omg. a basic feature built into youtube/audible, any major media distributor has built in speed controls expecting functional browser implementation. especially in the era of chromium based browser monopoly this is important. (I don't trust chromium even though it is open source) I listen to audio at like 3.5-5.5 speeds with closed backed studio tuned headphones and any improvement can be noticeable. I can't get past 2.0-3.0 with laptop speakers on chrome/firefox 73 or with pre firefox 73 and headphones. but now, YEET Chrome, google. I moved my bookmarks over and deleted most of my chrome data already this here is my last action on chrome before uninstall.
I am wondering as an aside, could i get some code usable in the console to mess with more precise window and stuff to experiment at very high speeds. (If you have spare time, I can figure it out after some finagling) I am very satisfied with beta Firefox 73 audio at high speeds, but i wanna experiment. I consume a lot media always involving speech. In any case thank you, thank you, thank you guys ad infinitum for your very important work here and in general. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1654480 Title: HTML5 sound choppy when played at 4x Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I use a bookmarklet to set the playback rate on the HTML5 player element to 4x (tested with YouTube).
