Al principio pensé que no funcionaba pero hay que poner la calidad máxima para que como mínimo "Se ponga la mejor calidad" al menos no se verá pixeleado

I wanted to watch shows at low quality because I game at the same time and my computer gets hot. This extension allowed me to lower the quality. Thank you.

Genuinely works, can finally watch game of thrones in actual HD without it dropping to 360p for no reason at all.
