Works for a very short period after putting to 1080, but after a video or two they open in 720 instead, check the extension and it's been switched from 1080 to auto, keeps doing that, so simply doesn't work as intended.

It looks like it doesn't work -- it doesn't select requested video quality.

Very useful extension, but I have an issue, it seems that when the chosen quality doesn't exist, it puts it on the highest quality! I've set it on 480p, but it sets it on 1080p and doesn't allow changing it either.

It's OK but kind of redundant in some sites like YouTube. Plus, the fact that a new tab pops up every time you click the extension, it's annoying - instead of a simple small window. I'd be cool if it had key shortcuts though!

Useful for video resolutions but it erases 1080p and above when you limit the frame rate to 30fps

in the next update bring it on video control panel and add 360p as shortcut to directly change quality, it will be more helpful

This one works, compared to old 2018 extensions! EDIT: the settings always reset to 1080p, so it:s useless for my needs, which are to force down 720p.
