Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension unlocks 1080p playback for Netflix and add other quality of life improvements as well. It was originally developed by truedread, but the original project has not been maintained for a while, so I forked the project and released this new and unofficial version.

*** Features ***

Play movies in 1080p in Chrome. Depending on the used DRM, this may not work for all movies and shows, especially non-Netflix ones.
Unlock 5.1 audio where available.
Automatically switch to the highest available bitrate.
Optionally disable use of the VP9 and AVChigh codec, which use lower bitrates and don't support hardware decoding on some platforms.
Show all subtitle tracks.
Re-enable the Ctrl+Shift+Alt+D and Ctrl+Shift+Alt+B keyboard shortcuts, allowing you to see playback stats and manually picking a video and audio stream respectively.
