Summary

Analyze keywords

This extension automatically changes the YouTube video quality to a user-selected high-quality resolution.

Features:

Select the highest quality by default
Do not change the quality if high resolution is already selected (optional feature)
Allows the user to select almost all available qualities.
It is possible to disable more than 30 FPS frame rates (optional feature). Use it if you don't have a bandwidth problem, but your browser cannot handle high-frame-rate playing.
Use different qualities for visible and hidden YouTube players (optional feature)

Some Use Cases:

YouTube starts at low quality, but I want to watch at high resolution.
YouTube automatically increases quality which causes the loader to appear once per while. I don't want the player to alter the resolution.
YouTube switches to 60 frame rate mode, but my browser drops frames.

I think some people are confused. This extension doesn't magically enhance your video, you just select the best quality you want, and all your YouTube videos load in that quality if they're available. Great extension, not overloaded with features.

Max Djently, 2024-04-21

As a Principle, I like to be able to keep a solid, mid-tier 720p because I have bad internet - it's infinitely better to buffer for a bit, once in a while, at a set 720p, than to keep dropping to a blurry 144p or 240p whenever the connection gets poor. Easier on the Eyes to just have it at a set quality. I think all the people that are saying that this doesn't work either don't have it set-up right or don't understand how it works or what it is, it won't upscale a 1080p to a 4K - it's not an Upscaler, it just sets the Quality to a chosen constant value. You set it to, say, 1440p - if the video's highest available resolution is 1080p, it won't magically make it 1440p - it will just keep it on the highest quality available, 1080p.

Ignore the idiots saying it doesn't work, it works exactly as intended in Chrome *if* you set the settings in the extension properly.
