Maybe you can add music.youtube.com, so it works there too. Normally you can't choose quality..
(UNFORTUNATELY, BUT) Not working!
Finally Open Source :) Works like a charm. Thank you Láng Péter. You made a great job!
I need to see video at 1440p but the option is only to 1080 or max that can be 5k or 4k WHIch i dont want/need!!!
Awesome, the other Auto HD extensions are poor and has extra features and icons that only gets in the way. This one however, awesome. Good job!
if can , i want request to add some feature 60fps on selected best video
This one actually works for html5 videos I hate switching to 480 or 720 everytime thank you
This actually works for html5 as advertised! Also works flawlessly on the Vivaldi browser for embedded videos also.
It appears as if "&hd=1" no longer works.
i love it, tiny and does what it has to do, super :)
Doesn't work instantly upon playback, the absolute requirement. Fail.
Works and doesn't require the unnecessary permissions that so many other similar extensions require.
black screen
Works SUPERB!!

Actually works immediately after download & doesn't request to access your browsing history or data. Excellent extension.
