Youtube (and others) have adopted video compression....so I used about:config to disable AV1 and VP9 entirely.
Correct.....but when a person's video download speed is capped at say 4mbps, and they want to watch 1080/720p video without it buffering, then AV1/VP9 is the way to watch these videos.
================
AV1’s Quality at Low Bitrates: AV1 is known for maintaining excellent video quality even at low bitrates,
AV1’s Compression Efficiency: AV1’s advanced algorithms can reduce file sizes up to 30-50% compared to H.264 for similar quality levels.
