Auto HD|LQ for YouTube™: High or Low Quality Video Player

Auto HD|LQ for YouTube™ is a YouTube-enhancing Chrome extension. It sets YouTube videos to automatically play in either the highest (HD) or lowest (LQ) available qualities. The quality selection depends on users' preference and can be switchable easily through the toolbar popup UI. This feature is particularly useful given different internet speeds, enabling HD quality for speedy connections and LQ for slower ones to save bandwidth. The extension also provides an auto mode for YouTube's default quality setting.

Does not allow users to specify resolution. "HD" or "Auto" is vague and does not cover all use cases.

"시크릿 모드에서 허용" 옵션을 켜도 정작 시크릿 모드에서 작동 안 되는 유사한 다른 확장 프로그램이 많은데, 이 확장 프로그램은 잘 작동합니다.
