Full summary

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.
  3. HD quality is useful where internet speed is high enough to load large videos.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

This eye-care extension enables night mode by creating dark themes for websites on the fly. Dark Reader inverts bright colors, making them high contrast and easy to read at night.

You can adjust the brightness, contrast, sepia filter, dark mode, font settings and the ignore-list.
