2022-07-18 Liam Browser used to lag when playing 720p YouTube videos in Firefox on my potato device and this issue was promptly solved by this extension. However, extension goes buggy if you open a link from the browser in a new private window- video does not play at all, no matter how many times you hit the play button. Hope this issue is resolved soon.
