Enhance YouTube Playback with H264ify

YouTube H264ify is a free Chrome extension designed to improve video playback on YouTube by switching the encoding from VP8/VP9 to H.264. This switch is particularly beneficial as it utilizes hardware acceleration, which can lead to reduced CPU usage, minimizing the chances of stuttering and overheating during video playback. Users can expect a more efficient streaming experience, especially on devices where high CPU usage can be problematic.

The extension automatically handles the transition of video streams, ensuring that users enjoy smoother playback without needing to adjust settings manually. Additionally, H264ify contributes to lower battery consumption, making it an excellent choice for those using laptops or mobile devices. Overall, YouTube H264ify enhances the viewing experience by providing a more fluid and enjoyable way to watch videos.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
