    🎥 Auto 4K: Always the Best Quality
    
    Tired of constantly adjusting video settings? Auto 4K ensures every video on YouTube automatically streams in your preferred resolution. Set it once, and it takes care of the rest – from HD to 4K, or even 8K when available.
    
    ⚙️ One-Click Setup
    
    Forget complicated menus. With Auto 4K, selecting your default video quality takes just a click. Open the extension, pick your favorite resolution, and enjoy high-definition videos instantly, every time.

    1️⃣ Add Auto 4K to your Chrome browser.
    2️⃣ Click the extension icon and select your desired default resolution.
    3️⃣ Every YouTube video will be forced to play in your chosen quality, automatically.
    
    ❓What is 4K and 8K Video Resolution?
