Extension summary

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 version.

Optionally disable use of the VP9 and AVChigh codec, which use lower bitrates and don't support hardware decoding on some platforms.

Please make an extension for Disney+! The same thing happens too. I can't watch FHD content on a computer and I have a very good one with 300 symmetrical megabytes of broadband.
