Review summary

The h264ify add-on is praised for enhancing video playback on low-end and older laptops by reducing lag, lowering CPU/GPU usage, and providing smoother YouTube streaming through forced H.264 codec usage. However, users commonly note that it restricts video resolution to 1080p and sometimes blocks Full HD videos unintentionally. The absence of per-device controls also complicates usage across various hardware setups. Overall, it is valued for performance improvements but has limitations regarding resolution and flexibility.
Pros
  • Significantly reduces lag and improves video playback performance, especially on low-end or older laptops.
  • Helps lower CPU and GPU load, resulting in less overheating and battery consumption.
  • Effectively disables VP9 and AV1 codecs, favoring H.264 which is better supported on low-end hardware.
  • Improves YouTube streaming quality in real-time, making videos smoother and more fluid.
Cons
  • Limits maximum video resolution to 1080p, preventing resolution above this level.
  • Some users experience undesired blocking of Full HD (1080p) videos in addition to 60fps, leading to dissatisfaction.
  • Lacks device-specific enable/disable options, making management across multiple devices cumbersome.
