Auto HD|LQ for YouTube™ Extension

Auto HD|LQ for YouTube™ is an extension that forces the YouTube player to play videos in the highest (HD) or lowest (LQ) available qualities.

Some features:
1. Automatically set the Highest/Lowest available quality for all YouTube videos, depending on the user's choice.
2. Easily switch the quality type from the toolbar popup UI.
4. HD quality is useful where internet speed is high enough to load large videos.
5. LQ is handy where internet speed is low and you just want to see what the video is, and don't want to waste your bandwidth.
6. There is also an option to automatically set the video quality by YouTube (auto mode).

Note: to report bugs, please visit the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/youtube-hd-lq.html) and fill the bug report form.

Alejandro Lopez (ID: 00000036a158f716) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/08/2023 Works awesomely and it's one of the lightest in all chrome web store. However, it would be great to choose the maximum resoltion you want in HD, because 4K videos are quite heavy for some computers/networks.

Dariusz Jurczak (ID: 0000001fe268e96c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/05/2023 Good idea but this ext but need some improvement. Like set default quality. Choosing 8K when monitor doesn't support it, is a waste of resources and energy. Auto doesn't work properly.
