watched a free movie on yt for the first time in a couple months last thursday. i knew about the new war on adblockers, so i had updated ublock origin’s filter list cache first.

worked fine no ads, even got 1080p, which i rarely ever see for the ‘legit’ mainstream tv shows and movies they have.

What’s up with that by the way? I constantly watch videos in 720p that advertise 4K in the title.

Can you choose 4K from the little gear icon in the bottom right corner of the player?

Not trying to defend YouTube, but I think they align video quality to network speed so you can watch without buffering.

I think they will offer higher bitrates if you use chrome instead of firefox

It seems really inconsitent though. On some videos I have the option and sometimes not.
