even got 1080p

What's up with that by the way? I constantly watch videos in 720p that advertise 4K in the title.

I think they will offer higher bitrates if you use chrome instead of firefox

It seems really inconsitent though. On some videos I have the option and sometimes not.

Can you choose 4K from the little gear icon in the bottom right corner of the player?

Not trying to defend YouTube, but I think they align video quality to network speed so you can watch without buffering.

No, I can't manually set hit higher either

the big content providers and studios often don't allow a higher bitrate or resolution in a third-party (to the os its on) browser.... i hardly ever see 1080p available on that free stuff on yt.
