Allen Men 2021-06-23: Turned off AV1 at YouTube settings but it didn't work even if I refreshed the page. After installed this plugin, my graphic card could take over decoding and my CPU usage has finally went down. Really helps me a lot!

Иван Дмитриев 2020-06-23: AVC = H264, not AV1, its new generation codec without hardware acceleration yet.

airime 2020-06-23: AV1 is H264. It's bad for older machines. AV1 = H264 H264 + 60 FPS = Heaven for older machines. Technically, i have Intel Pentium Dual-Core Inside from 2010 (Laptop), and VP9 is hell for Intel Pentium Dual-Core Inside. Enchanced H264ify is good. Recommended by me

Thuan Phan 2020-04-07: Solved CPU eating problem. This extension actually worked perfectly. AV1 + 60fps = hell for older machines.

Flu x 2020-03-17: It works: doesn't prohibit 4K or 60fps video streams like h264ify and decreases CPU use vs av01. For some reason the Chrome flag at chrome://flags/#enable-av1-decoder appears to have been removed or is missing for me and the setting "Prefer AV1 for SD" at https://www.youtube.com/account_playback under "AV1 settings" is not persistent and automatically reverts to "Auto (recommended)" after a few sessions. I had no other way to disable av01 in favour of vp09. Thank you.
