Disable 60fps Videos on Youtube

One reason we want to disable or remove 60fps is because of video buffering. Our internet speed is just not fast enough to stream a high framerate video,  and/or we just prefer to watch lower 30fps video.

There are several ways to disable or turn off 60fps on a Youtube video. This can be done by using a chrome extension. 




One extension that I have found to be very simple at setting this up is called h264ify. This extension is made to help smoothen Youtube experience on chrome for low-end computers which probably using too much CPU power for these computers.

Simply checking the box "Block 60ps video" and 720p videos and above will now play at lower framerate.
