• (2025-04-23) Gabe B: The extension doesn't work.
• (2025-02-27) Manoj Keswani (manoj91): everytime i change it to 144p, it just goes to the highest quality automatically. what an amazing trick. very good.
• (2025-02-24) Jake: almost perfect but like others said it doesnt recognize enhanced bitrate mode EDIT: no longer works
• (2024-12-12) SLBTVE 9738: Enjoy my fun
• (2024-12-06) Mathieu Gallant: Works for me. Does what it says it supposed to do. Nice to have logs in the console too.
• (2024-11-18) Rickard Åberg: Good when it worked but seems like it stopped working, version 131 broke it. It defaults to highest quality now and the UI is broken.
• (2024-11-06) Szymon Skworc: Does not automatically change quality
• (2024-10-29) Sabrina Eliana Ricci: It seems to have stopped working. When it was working it still paused frequently too when YouTube would try to turn down the resolution and the addon would turn it back up so that was annoying but still better than it being a lower resolution I guess
• (2024-08-09) Mark Had: thanks it works!
• (2024-08-05) Polyculture: Doesn't work. Very frustrating. Not worth your time...
• (2024-07-08) Matt Faraday: Stopped working. I've had this installed since Youtube reduced the default quality during the COVID pandemic in 2020. But today I was watching a video and I thought hmm this is low quality, sure enough, it was being shown to me in 720p when a 4K version was available. So I tested it a bit more and yeah it just doesn't work any more and the developer seems to have quietly stopped working on it 8 months ago in 2023. Time to move to a new plugin. It was good while it lasted, but it doesn't work any more.
• (2024-05-28) Lukas Zuikis: Maybe works once every 20 videos? Not sure if it does at all actually
• (2024-04-29) Stephen Chu (朱朱): Doesn't seem to recognize the new 1080p Premium quality.
• (2024-04-17) Diesel Jackal (Diesel): As a Principle, I like to be able to keep a solid, mid-tier 720p because I have bad internet - it's infinitely better to buffer for a bit, once in a while, at a set 720p, than to keep dropping to a blurry 144p or 240p whenever the connection gets poor. Easier on the Eyes to just have it at a set quality. I think all the people that are saying that this doesn't work either don't have it set-up right or don't understand how it works or what it is, it won't upscale a 1080p to a 4K - it's not an Upscaler, it just sets the Quality to a chosen constant value. You set it to, say, 1440p - if the video's highest available resolution is 1080p, it won't magically make it 1440p - it will just keep it on the highest quality available, 1080p.
• (2024-04-16) Austin Salkowski: Ignore the idiots saying it doesn't work, it works exactly as intended in Chrome *if* you set the settings in the extension properly.
• (2024-03-17) Charalambos Papoutsis: It's useless. It doesn't make any quality enhancements whatsoever. For example, I want to enhance 1080 videos online to 2160, which is 4K, but the extension will not do this. Yet, if you go on the developer website, they claim you can actually enhance the quality of a video beyond what is shown. I really wish there was a video quality enhancement add-on. There are colour enhancements which make the colour gamut of videos pop out more, but that's about it. Sometimes a video is a little blurry or I want to sharpen the pixels further.
• (2024-02-25) Shi Kuan Chung: Useless
• (2024-02-21) Will Ashley: Does not work in Arc browser which is really weird bc it's Chromium, but it just does not work,.
• (2024-02-04) aranza: sometimes it works, sometimes not
• (2024-01-31) Hayden Cappadona: Works well. The only missing feature is 1080p Enhanced from my testing. It's absurd the Auto settings isn't proving the enhanced quality in the first place, but I'm not surprised. Thanks!
• (2024-01-27) Rob: Seems to work after unchecking the 'do not change video quality if an HD quality is selected' option.
• (2024-01-24) Obliquity Writes: Only really works sporadically now, and when it does, it takes quite a long time to start, and then to reload and start buffering again. So you get a few seconds of sound - in my case, often without the moving picture - and then it stops, blacks out and reloads. When it was first installed, it didn't do this, and I've not installed anything new since that might be clashing. I still had to manually select quality quite frequently, but it didn't do the annoying reloading thing when it did work. Not sure if there's a bug or if a browser update is clashing.

• (2022-12-22) Mateusz M: The only extension that is working (I installed all extensions from webstore !! 12+). I hope It will last, I think that YouTube trying to break every extension that is doing that, so after some INVISIBLE YouTube update, this extension might break .. again? - I saw that the older version didn't work, today is 2022.12.22 - version 0.4.2 is still working.

• (2022-04-12) Kaley McDonough: This extension kind of worked for some period of time. However, I don't think it works anymore. When it did work it would not allow you to switch the quality down to a lower quality. This was an issue when a video had a 2160p option: especially when increasing the playback speed the video would stutter. So, when I attempted to lower the quality it would automatically set it back to 2160p.

• (2021-10-16) Andre Savelev: Наконец-то рабочее расширение. Одно замечание: не ставит качество при старте видео. В самом начале ютуб сам делает Авто.
