Video Quality Settings for YouTube™ (HD/4K) Extension

Diego Aguilar (ID: 000000edd9cae43d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/07/2023 Useful for video resolutions but it erases 1080p and above when you limit the frame rate to 30fps

Vidar R (ID: 00000096c5bc0aa8) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/29/2023 Nice. 5 star when youtube premium enhanced hd works over full hd when choosing max quality or 4k+ on non 4k videos

Elton César (ID: 0000005430af2bbc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/23/2023 Thank you for this, it's really useful.

Shubham Kumar (ID: 000000f3fea076e9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/18/2023 It's doing its job. But why does it need access to my browsing history. Reducing one star just for that.

Shayne Williams (ID: 0000009c32b3b0e6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/15/2023 Absolutely amazing, youtube has been downgrading my video resolution like crazy lately on purpose. This allows me to just set it one time and have it automatically apply to whatever video I open without having to do anything after the quick initial setup.
