    even got 1080p

    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.

          the big content providers and studios often don’t allow a higher bitrate or resolution in a third-party (to the os its on) browser… i hardly ever see 1080p available on that free stuff on yt.

            I don’t think that applies to content that doesn’t have DRM, and except music videos generally none has.

            I don’t know about the youtube interface because I haven’t used in it a long time, but there’s no problem with it through piped and invidious.
