YouTube automatically adjusts the streaming quality of videos, based on the current speed of your internet connection. If it’s really slow, you may only get standard definition (360p or 480p), but otherwise the default quality is 720p high definition. You can change this manually by clicking the cog icon below a video and selecting a resolution option from the Quality menu. However, you may decide that you always want to stream at the highest quality.
There are lots of extensions that let you override YouTube’s settings to stream in 4K or even 8K, where available, but our favourite is ‘Auto HD/4k/8k for YouTube’. Install this add-on in your Chromium browser (https://bit.ly/3SpzL5I) or Firefox (https://bit.ly/3SpzL5I), then click its toolbar button and set your preferred quality for YouTube videos. The options go up to 4320p, or 8K (see screenshot below), but note that the quality will default to 1080p (HD) on videos where 4K or 8K aren’t available.
Click ‘Auto’ to return to using YouTube’sa automatic setting. The brilliant extension‘ Enhancer for YouTube’ (see page 53) has a similar option - click its Options cog,tick the ‘Automatically select a playback quality’ box in the ‘Playback quality’ section and set your preference, up to 8K.You can increase the video quality in

Select ‘Higher picture quality’ for Wi-Fi and for mobile networks - though bear in mind that this will use more data. To set a specific resolution, tap the Settings cog in the top-right corner of a video and choose Quality, then Advanced.
