YouTube 2K Badge - Give 1440p the label it deserves!

🧐 Why install this extension? If you regularly watch high-quality videos on YouTube, you might have noticed a confusing design choice: YouTube labels 1080p as "HD", but it also labels the much sharper 1440p (2K) resolution with the exact same generic "HD" badge. This makes it difficult to tell at a glance whether you are watching in standard Full HD or true 2K.

✨ Key Features This ultra-lightweight extension fixes this visual annoyance:

Precise Labeling: Automatically replaces the generic 1440p HD text in the quality menu with a precise 1440p 2K label.
Intuitive Gear Badge: When watching a 2K video, the settings gear icon in the player will proudly display a custom red 2K badge instead of the standard "HD", letting you know your exact quality at a glance!
Universal Compatibility: Flawlessly detects and supports all variants, including standard 1440p, high-framerate 1440p60, and HDR streams.
