This is a silent chrome extension that will force all YouTube videos selected on their site to default to HD quality. Currently the default action on YouTube is standard definition and users are forced to manually increase the quality if they wish to view in HD. This extension works on all videos that support HD quality. For issues or enhancement requests leave me feed back in the reviews section or send me an email. The idea was to keep this as a simple extension with no user interaction that all could benefit from.
After installing this app you will see no difference to chrome and the extension requires no user interaction. Next time you browse to a YouTube video it will launch normally except with the HD quality selected by default. If for any reason you choose to lower the quality just click quality button and lower quality as you normally would.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
