Full summary

enhanced-h264ify is a fork of well-known h264ify extension for Firefox/Chrome which blocks VP8/VP9 codecs on YouTube, so that you can use H264 only. This may be useful because there are lots of devices on the market which support H264 hardware decoding and do not support VP8/VP9.

This extension has new features such as manual blocking of H264, VP8, VP9, AV1 codecs and 60fps video. By default it blocks everything but H264 and 60fps video. It works only on YouTube. GitHub: https://github.com/alextrv/enhanced-h264ify

My extension allows you to customize the video quality experience based on the video's FPS (Frames Per Second). You can adjust the quality anywhere from 144p to 8K. This means, for example, that you can watch 30FPS videos at 4K and 60FPS videos at 1080p!

You also have the option to automatically select the enhanced bitrate quality. Additionally, the extension lets you choose the quality of embedded videos, which are videos outside of YouTube.com.

Lastly, you can enable the auto-resize feature to adjust the video size automatically.
