Watch YouTube in your preferred video quality, such as 720p, 1080p, 1440p and 2160p.
Video Quality Settings for YouTube is a browser extension that sets the preferred quality of YouTube videos, and remembers your video quality settings between sessions. Limiting the video frame rate to 30 FPS is also supported.

- (2023-04-19) Moo: Works on the YouTube site, but doesn't seem to work on YouTube videos embedded on other sites. Still, one of the very few that's up to date, and a decent alternative to "YouTube Auto HD + FPS" that unfortunately became too beggy.
- (2021-09-25) Michael: Well done! You're doing god's work.
- (2021-06-17) Diego: Pretty easy, I just installed and refreshed the edge browser all videos are know playing by default in HD including those without options to set on the video
- (2021-05-28) d: Doesn't work.
- (2020-09-18) Greg: Doesn't work. Youtube still autodetects and sets the quality.
- (2020-04-25) Christian: Opensource, slim and works flawless :)
