[Update: Android too] YouTube adds 1.75x playback speed on the web

Rita El Khoury

I would have never thought that a single YouTube playback speed setting would be requested or would get noticed this much, but today I've learned that you can't make assumptions like this without researching them first.

However, there's a way to prevent it: Google Maps has time to leave notifications on the web and you can easily turn them on.
