I've written a user script that allow setting custom playback speed using keyboard shortcuts [ and ]. Pressing 0 on numeric keyboard resets the speed to 100%. Only Google Chrome is supported. My script can can be installed as an extension or as a tampermonkey script.

Install from: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/126483

Added/fixed some tags. I will also put a link in wiki for general resources for Coursera. What is the maximum speed you can get with this extension ?

Light speed, Ridiculous speed, Ludicrous speed ;)

When I go beyond 4x speed, the sound stops working, haha. Amazing gimmick, @ExtraArm

@rhasarub - "When I go beyond 4x speed, the sound stops working, haha."

It doesn't stop working, it just reaches a frequency beyond human hearing.

None of the tarsiers in the class have a problem with it ;-)

It depends solely on the browser engine.

I've just added on-video bubble appearing when changing speed. Useful on full screen :) full screen bubble

Awesome! Only thing I need now is for my Coursera classes to start...

Strange, but it isn't working for me (nothing is showing, everything is the same as before installation). Though, Udacity extensions worked just fine.
Maybe they changed something in their code. Could you, please, fix this?
Will be greatly appreciated!

Coursera changed their interface in the meantime, now you have more speed options by default, so the hack is not necessary anymore.

Yes, but the step is 25%.
Smaller step will be better.
E.g. 125% is still slow for me,but 150% - is too fast. 140% will be ideal!
