I recently discovered this firefox\chrome extension that make streaming videos soo much faster. It also has built in subtitle support that lets you upload subtitles or search through opensubtitles. It’s incredible how much faster videos load https://github.com/Andrews54757/FastStream

    I would worry about getting rate-limited then, I’ve seen some content servers just be very picky about making too many requests (through jumping in the video too far too often).

        It’s more that abnormal traffic gets flagged, and you end up getting limited

          I get that its abnormal for me to open twenty tabs for a bunch of products and a bunch of different queries simultaneously. That’s just being good at computers, and it should be encouraged.

          Don’t ban people who are abnormal. Machine learning anomaly detection is making the internet unusable.
