How to watch YouTube even with poor internet?
YouTube works fine most of the time if you are using a relatively new device and the network connection is stable. If you have an old laptop, and the Internet is weak, then YouTube videos start to slow down and it becomes unbearable to watch them.
h264ify extension for Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Edge improves the quality of YouTube videos by playing them not in the standard VP8/VP9 compression formats for this service, but in H. 264. The extension is indispensable if the YouTube video stutters, uses too much processor resources, consumes battery power, or overheats the laptop.
The extension has only two options: the first enables or disables the h compression format .264, and the second automatically blocks video from 60fps. If necessary, you can always check in what format the video from YouTube is played on your PC.
To do this, right-click on the video and in the menu that appears, press the line “Statistics for system administrators” . In the window that opens, in addition to other information about the video, the compression format will also be indicated. By default, they write VP8 or VP9 there, the utility will show the format change.
