Playback control
I've found that I am willing to watch videos I would otherwise skip if I can view the videos at a faster rate. This Chrome extension works for Netflix, Youtube, and most other video play back services.
"Once the extension is installed simply navigate to any page that offers HTML5 video, and you'll see a speed indicator in top left corner of the video player. Hover over the indicator to reveal the controls to accelerate, slowdown, or rewind the video (10 seconds + lowers playback speed). Or, even better, use your keyboard." -Excerpt from the Chrome store app description.
