Review Summary
Users appreciate the extension's ability to force YouTube videos to play at high resolutions automatically, enhancing video quality and viewing convenience, especially on browsers like Brave and Edge. However, many report that the extension no longer works properly, likely due to being removed from the Chrome Web Store for not meeting updated Chrome extension standards. Common issues include inconsistent functionality, failure to increase video quality, and concerns about the extension's broad permission requests. Overall, while valued, the extension suffers from compatibility and security concerns due to lack of maintenance.
Pros
- Effectively forces YouTube videos to play at higher resolutions (HD, 4K, 8K) consistently.
- Improves video quality and sharpness noticeably for users.
- Works well on some browsers like Brave and Edge, improving playback experience and reducing errors.
- Reduces buffering times and improves page load speed in some cases.
- Allows users to avoid manual quality selection every time they watch videos.
Cons
- Extension has been removed from the Chrome Web Store, likely due to incompatibility with Chrome's Manifest V3 requirements, leading to lack of updates and support.
- Does not work reliably on some browsers and can fail to override YouTube's video quality, sometimes playing only low resolution (e.g., 360p).
- Requires broad permissions, including access to all websites, raising security and privacy concerns.
- Some users report inconsistent or no functionality; the extension sometimes fails to adjust resolution as expected.
- Hardware acceleration issues still occur on some systems even when using the extension, leading to occasional errors or crashes.
