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.

The issue maybe more about identity verification. They can verify you precisely on their browser. In ff with some restriction settings (maybe fingerprint resist or strict tracking protection) or maybe without any, they will have hard time knowing you are human. I see the prompt to identify crossroads and all in ff, but am not going to give them free labour to train their AI.

    Well privacy matters so i wont let them gather all the unecesery info about me just to verifi am human. That can be solved vith one quick prompt when i enter the website..
