Makes YouTube stream H.264 videos instead of VP8/VP9 videos
Try h264ify if YouTube videos stutter, take up too much CPU, eat battery life, or make your laptop hot.
By default, YouTube streams VP8/VP9 encoded video. However, this can cause problems with less powerful machines because VP8/VP9 is not typically hardware accelerated.
In contrast, H.264 is commonly hardware accelerated by GPUs, which usually means smoother video playback and reduced CPU usage. h264ify makes YouTube stream H.264 videos instead of VP8/VP9 videos.
Note: 4K and 1440p videos will not be available because YouTube no longer encodes those videos in H.264

- Be nice if I could enable/disable per-device without having to unsync extensions (some of my devices have VP9/HEVC hardware support and some don't).

- good!
- Christian
- With this addon are no more video resolutions possible above 1080p and for resolutions like 1080p or lower are this addon not needed because its also render nicely without it. Useless addon.

- Works! Drops both CPU and GPU load by ~10 %. Also has "Block 60fps video" option.
- Gimmy
- Funziona alla perfezione, ho risolto finalmente un problema che avevo da anni e anni sul mio vecchio portatile, mai più lag su YouTube!
- Jose
- For old laptops, all that i need is 720p without 60fps so great!
- Juan
- Bien, cumple con lo que necesito, pero desde el último tiempo ha empezado a también bloquear el Full HD además de los 60fps, lo que me impulsa a buscar otra alternativa para sólo anular los 60fps. ¡Por favor arréglenlo! Well, it does what I need, but since the last time it has also started blocking Full HD in addition to 60fps, which prompts me to look for another alternative to only cancel 60fps. Please fix it!
