Latest reviews

(2025-06-23) Erika Dalí (JGmz): Sadly, this extension isn't capable of enhancing the quality to FullHD or 4K, even when the content itself is available in that resolution. Max Originals like Peacemaker and Harley Quinn are available in 4K on HBO Max, but the extension can only show them to you in 720p at best. You can DECREASE quality to Low and Standard Resolutions, but you can't increase it to FullHD, QHD and 4K.

(2025-05-01) Ahmad Raza: Blocking site
(2025-04-02) Gately Wells: It's really weird that this isn't just a built-in function. Thanks!
(2024-12-19) Brandon Adams: 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.
(2024-12-04) baidjeet: Genuinely works, can finally watch game of thrones in actual HD without it dropping to 360p for no reason at all.
(2024-11-22) Bart Sympson: it works.
(2024-09-30) Nicolas Bodin: Useful extension, works great ! Could you make a version for Firefox please ?
(2024-09-25) César García: i can only get up to 720p
(2024-08-16) Sword8808: Yes, it does work. No, it will not let you play video higher than 720p in a Chrome browser. Chrome itself is limited with MAX (same with Netflix in Chrome), it can only stream at 720p maximum. Use Edge if you want to stream HBO Max higher than 720p on PC. This extension can also be installed in Edge.
(2024-08-07) MNDarkfire !: This extension literally just does not work. the functionality of the extension depends on the availability of content but the content says it is available in 4k. Do not hit me with that copypasta you've created. The content I am trying to watch is listed as available in 4k UHD, but even when I set the extension to 4k, the video stream on something that is supposed to be available in 4k is locked in at 720p. this extension does not work as advertised. It is not worth the added ram to download this extension that does not work.
(2024-07-24) Timothy Nee: On my chrome browser it says my current resolution is 1600 x 670 and will not change regardless if I select QHD or 4K. I have the 4k quality plan and I live in a country that supports 4k for this movie.
(2024-07-04) Noorzaib Chohan: Absolutely amazing what this guy has built. the extension works for me you just change the VPN server and try to max to 4k setting by doing this you will get absolute great quality available. thankyou so much mate
(2024-03-26) Wagner Skellington: I had hoped for this to be successful, but unfortunately, it has yielded the opposite outcome. I remain optimistic that an upcoming update will rectify this issue.
(2024-03-18) Homing Lam: Feature request: Please add Max compatibility. I used to get 1080p with this extension streaming HBO Max, but now HBO Max in US has already transited to Max, and the extension doesn't work anymore. Any chance to add Max compatibility?
(2024-03-11) Olga Łazarczyk: It still doesn't work. You keep telling people you're gonna fix this as soon as possible. It's been months and nothing changed.
(2023-12-20) Alan White: Thanks this extension is awesome, but can you fix the quality to stay high all the time, it works but after some minutes the quality gets back to the medium or low quality again, so you should reclick every while, can you fix that's guys !?

(2023-04-02) Christopher Chin: Seems to work okay on initial use. HBOMax was capping my vids pretty hard even with fiber. This extension instantly made it better (after a Chrome restart) and then works fine with forced quality changing.

(2023-03-24) Eduardo C: Caps out at 540p but you can lower it... If you want worse quality that is.

(2023-02-22) Robert: Hi. Changing display resolution works fine for me. But if using this addon, somehow it changes 5.1 sound to just 2.0. Is it possible to fix this? Using this addon on MS Edge. Thanks EDIT: It does something with sound settings. As soon I use the addon, I lose 5.1.

(2022-12-18) Devlin McMichael: Just wanted to leave this here for anyone having problems. Make sure you set the resolution in the extension, close chrome, reopen it, and THAN go to HBO max. This extension doesn't seem to update the resolution live. As for the app, it helped me tremendously. For some reason HBO Max on my desktop automatically sets the resolution to the lowest possible even though my internet and monitor are capable of 4K streaming.
