1080p is the highest possible, using an extension

Any higher and you'll need to sail the seas

Could you specify, which extension, I'm also interested in this

Looks like it was banned from the Addons site, however there's install instructions in the repo:

What was the reason for the removal?

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

From what I can tell, it was due to including a modified & minified version of Netflix's actual video player, Cadmium

Hi @adamency , There were multiple reasons why it got removed, main one was that the cadmium player is a minified blob and they don't like that. https://github.com/vladikoff/netflix-1080p-firefox/blob/master/src/cadmium-playercore-1080p.js
