Description:

Notes:

If your chosen quality is unavailable, the next best available option will be used.

The quality preference applied by the script can be temporarily overridden through the native YouTube UI.

Compatibility Status:

COMPATIBLE with YouTube in all languages.

COMPATIBLE with YouTube videos that are embedded in other sites.

COMPATIBLE with all browsers that support modern JavaScript.

COMPATIBLE with the mobile website (m.youtube.com).

Extra comments from me:

Summary:
This script was originally a fork of YouTube HD by adisib. However, after countless revisions and a total transition to a more modern architecture, the script no longer bears any resemblance to the original code. This version was created to fix broken functionality and provide a much more stable experience.

What has been changed:
I have fixed several long-standing bugs, including issues where Premium bitrates wouldn't apply correctly on non-English versions of YouTube. The script is now more robust and less likely to break when YouTube updates their site. My implementation is designed to be convenient and compatible with most browser and script-manager combinations.
