Change the Netflix Playback Speed

Netflix is one of the best ways to ditch cable television. For a lot less money than cable and zero ads, you receive access to an amazing amount of entertainment, including movies, TV shows, and documentaries.

Speaking of benefits, here’s an upcoming one you can look forward to: changing the Netflix playback speed!
