2025-01-05	Sa*****	Finally smth that WORKS! I am long, long time Linux user and I tried: - without any YT addon - works like sh^&*(% - h264ify - enhanced-h264ify - refined-h264ify and even [what I initially thought it will be best] - 'Improve YouTube!' <-- biggest hangs, slow downs, lags etc. Only this addon work as it should. Thank you and keep it up!
