Latest reviews
- (2023-11-07) Diego Aguilar: Useful for video resolutions but it erases 1080p and above when you limit the frame rate to 30fps
- (2023-09-29) Vidar R: Nice. 5 star when youtube premium enhanced hd works over full hd when choosing max quality or 4k+ on non 4k videos
- (2023-06-23) Elton César: Thank you for this, it's really useful.
- (2023-06-18) Shubham Kumar: It's doing its job. But why does it need access to my browsing history. Reducing one star just for that.
- (2023-06-15) Shayne Williams: Absolutely amazing, youtube has been downgrading my video resolution like crazy lately on purpose. This allows me to just set it one time and have it automatically apply to whatever video I open without having to do anything after the quick initial setup.
- (2023-05-26) urbciech: It works fast and great. I recommend <3
- (2023-05-13) Ryan: It works great. Thank you very much!
- (2023-05-07) Rahul Rai: in the next update bring it on video control panel and add 360p as shortcut to directly change quality, it will be more helpful
- (2023-04-19) Yuri Bezerra Sousa: Amazing. It works perfectly.
- (2023-02-08) tabliqat chi: Very useful extension, but I have an issue, it seems that when the chosen quality doesn't exist, it puts it on the highest quality! I've set it on 480p, but it sets it on 1080p and doesn't allow changing it either.
- (2022-12-20) Daniel Lee: Dec 2022 it Works! I don't think people just don't know how to use it. The Plugin will be greyed out, but if you click on the 3 dots on the right and go to Option. You can change to what resolution you want.
- (2022-12-05) Paweł Graczyński: First one that s work
- (2022-08-17) Timóteo Heinrichs: great
- (2022-06-01) Alex Uknownovich: It looks like it doesn't work -- it doesn't select requested video quality.
- (2022-02-12) umut yagız Dere: sistemimde daima yüklüdür çok beğeniyorum umarım geliştiriciler daha da iyi yapabilirler hatta sadece youtube için değil her video sitesi için olursa parasını bile öderim o kadar iddialı bir eklenti
- (2021-08-27) Giovanni: I needed Youtube stop to switch resolutions automatically and continuously during playback (think about you are far from the computer/tv/tablet and have playback paused continuously because of buffering) and these is the perfect extension to set resolution you like (eve 144p) Thanks
- (2021-02-17) Casey LAI: not working at all
- (2021-02-10) Lily Anatia: not working at all. all videos start playing as "Auto (360p)", no matter what the extension is set to.
- (2020-09-22) Miracle: Works great, hope you'll update it if needed
- (2020-08-30) Shang Tsung: The extension is working, it is stable and robust. It is smart about selecting the maximum available resolution (e.g. if 4K is desired, but only 2K is available, it would select 2K). It works well with existing ad blockers.
- (2020-08-07) Will Melbourne: works absolutely fine as of august 2020, ignore the others
- (2020-07-18) Andrianos: not working 8k is like hd
- (2020-02-06) aries bak: 讚
- (2020-01-02) Joe Beck: It was working when first installed. It now is not working and has not worked for a long time. I don't know why.
- (2019-12-11) Jonathan Mousserion: This one works, compared to old 2018 extensions! EDIT: the settings always reset to 1080p, so it:s useless for my needs, which are to force down 720p.
- (2019-11-01) Md Ashif: not working
- (2019-06-18) tejeswar pala: its working fine!
- (2019-04-17) Ravenous Fallen: It is working well. I like that this extension allows me to set to lower qualities as I like to stream in 480 for faster loading times.
