Summary
This extension automatically changes the YouTube video quality to a user-selected high-quality resolution.
Features:
- Select the highest quality by default
- Do not change the quality, if an HD quality is already selected (can be disabled from the options page)
- Allows the user to select almost all available qualities.
- It is possible to disable more than 30 FPS frame rates (optional). This option is useful, if you don't have a bandwidth problem, but your browser cannot handle high frame rate playing.
Some Use Cases:
- YouTube starts at low quality but I want to watch at high resolution
- YouTube automatically increases quality which causes the loader to appear. I want to force on a single quality
- YouTube switches to 60 frame rate qualities, but my browser drops many frames

Ändert die Qualität vom Video zwar nicht, aber die Anzeige auf dem kleinen Zahnrad. Bringt mir nur nichts. Video bliebt 4k anstatt 1080P.
