This extension would be useful on any website that streams those codecs. Please add an option to activate this extensions on other sites as well.

Also looking for an option to switch to h264 on sites different than youtube. Is there any reason not to just edit the address wildcard?

I tested replacing the youtube url with wildcards in my own fork. It seems kind of pointless to try and apply the toggle to other websites. I don't know other sites who serve up videos that are not h264 and a lot of sites don't seem to even check the API to see which video codecs a browser supports. For example, i "disabled" h264 using Netflix but Netflix still played an h264 video.

What about websites that embed Youtube videos? Are they already covered by the standard settings?

I believe so

I would love to be able to use this to force WebRTC videoconferencing apps Jitsi Meet, particularly at https://meet.jit.si, to use only the codecs my hardware can decode/encode (so H264 instead of VP9 if possible, in this case). The ability to customize per-website would therefore come in very handy for such cases, not just video playback websites like YouTube.
