I recently started to watch some videos, and I want to watch them at 1.25x speed or 1.5x speed.

When I try this on Chrome or Opera the video lags, freezes and it is impossible to watch. But on Firefox it works perfectly fine.

Is there anything I can do to to make the speed increase work well on Chrome and Opera as it does on Firefox?

Keep in mind that variable speed controls are only available in HTML5. Flash fallback will not offer you such option. Right-click on a YouTube video and see whether context menu you get is from Flash (you can see Flash version etc.) or HTML5 (black background). This would be an important hint to find a solution for the problem.

For unknown reasons (right now) your Opera and Chrome may be using Flash fallback while your Firefox is using HTML5. That would explain this behavior.

Of course, I cannot be sure if this is what is happening but check it out.
