Summary

Analyze keywords

A way to finally watch Netflix in the highest quality possible. This extension forces 1080p FHD playback, as well as the option to force 5.1 AAC playback.

Normally, Netflix only plays back a maximum of 720p and AAC2.0. However, with this extension, those restrictions can finally be removed.

Out of the box, Netflix-1080p just forces 1080p AVCHi streams to be included in the streams for playback. However, there are a few options you may tweak in the extension's options menu (all left unchecked by default):

Use 5.1 audio when available: Netflix normally plays back AAC2.0 in 64kbps and 96kbps. However, by checking this option, you override those streams for 128kbps AAC5.1, which can take advantage of surround sound setups!
Automatically select best bitrate available: Checking this option allows you to always playback the highest quality streams, no matter how fast Netflix thinks your connection is.
Use VP9 instead of H.264: For older computers, decoding VP9 in software can be faster and more efficient than decoding H.264 in software. Check this option if you notice slowdown or dropped frames with 1080p AVC playback.

Still working for me on opera on linux

I've had this extension for awhile, I know it worked when I installed it. But I just disabled the few extensions I have due to it taking 30 seconds or more for Chrome to load, and one by one, I came to this extension as the cause, it instantly loads with even uBlock Origin, but 30 seconds with this extension. it's broken, has an external resource it can't load, something is causing it to silently error and take forever. it's the only explanation. EDIT: Exploring the extension files, I noticed it does have an options page which doesn't actually work from chrome's extension manager. editing the manifest file allowing the options page to load in tab again does make it work. but the long load time persists. it's not that... Whatever update was made last month has completely broken this extension. and not in a good way, if they couldn't get it to work, they should have it just disable itself, maybe a return true; that the head of the loader file to make it just not load.

Safety

Risk impact

Netflix 1080p is very risky to use and it requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Avoid installing this extension unless you absolutely trust this publisher.
