Did you all noticed from recently that youtube is giving only lov quality opcion (360p) in mozilla firefox, despite youtuber uploaded that video in high quality (1080p)…?

I think this is another move where they are using monopoly to ruin firefox and leave only chrome as only webbrowser…

First time i thought hm this is strange why is this video in so poor quality and i saw that only 360p opcion iz awailable. This youtuber for sure wouldnt upload video in this bad quality so i copied the link and pasted it in another browser chrome and it showed in 1080p and good quality and everything was normal. So i think its must be on purpose to ruin firefox.

    “Youtube doing some shady stuff” could be their trademark. Well, it could be all of the enshittified Web2.0’s trademark.

    FWIW I use yt-dlp and get exactly the res I asked for.
