Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
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

Недавно YouTube начал отдавать только AV1 - это расширение потеряло свой смысл.
Без этого расширения ютубом пользоваться вообще не возможно. Отличное решение
SUPER SUPER OBRIGADO!!!! Não sei desde quando o Youtube mudou o tipo de codec, mas recentemente eu não conseguia mais rodar nem vídeos em 720p 60fps. Até formatei a máquina, e já tinha SSD. Enfim, só botei essa extensão pra rodar e agora rodo 1080p 60fps lisinho lisinho. PARABENS E SUPER OBRIGADO!!
Не знаю как у вас,но у меня при включении,просто пропадает расширение 1080p
Does what it says.
Пропадает 1080 из-за данного расширения. Раньше было все нормально
Програма убирает 1080р
I am having troubles since today don't if it's because a new Youtube version or whatever but for some kind of reason why I block the 60FPS it only limits the video quality do 720p. Any feedback on this issue ? First time it has happened to me, cause I've been using this extension for over a year
