Installation

Minimum requirements

Performance

A video card with a score of at least 1000 points in the PassMark Video Card Benchmark is recommended. Check your video card's score here:

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php

With a score lower than 1000 the extension will still work but it is likely that the YouTube video page will be slow and/or stuttering.

To troubleshoot performance problems or maximize the performance you can follow the checks and steps in the Troubleshoot guide
