About lowres

lowres caps streaming video quality so playback stays smooth on weak networks. • Set a max resolution (144p / 240p / 360p) • Enable or disable sites from a remote defaults list, or add your own • Unlock quality anytime to use the player’s normal quality menu • Toolbar badge shows the active cap How it works On enabled sites (and their player iframes), lowres limits HLS/adaptive streams to your chosen max resolution. Settings stay on your device. A public host list is fetched so known stream sites stay up to date without a store update. Privacy No accounts. No analytics. No selling data. Preferences are stored locally in the browser.
