Hello, really Open -in-vlc fully deserves the noble price and deserves the title of the most useful and beneficial extension in the world because it saves the ecology and millions of machines from destruction because we can enjoy full HD streaming even on old laptops with weak cpu, even on depreciated os and a weak internet connection, the proof, on the site :

https://html5test.co/ :

no browser in the world even modern browsers chrome, firefox, brave, edge ..... they do not support the adaptive bit rate: Dynamic Adaptive Streaming / MPEG-DASH No ✘ HTTP Live Streaming / HLS No ✘

but vlc player supports the important capital standard that saves us bandwidth without needing a powerful wifi connection to enjoy full HD video i mean the streaming Dynamic Adaptive Streaming / MPEG-DASH and I was surprised to be able to playback full HD videos streaming with vlc player even with weak internet and weak old cpu surely because the Dynamic Adaptive Streaming / MPEG-DASH protocol is natively integrated into vlc media player!

in addition we can make vlc lighter by disabling the H264 filter, deinterlacing, enable hardware acceleration support, increase the network buffer cache up to 60 seconds and we can have a video quality in vlc superior to the html5 player of the heavy web browser which lags freeze our entry-level laptop and is old!

So we thank you very much Mr @andy-portmen for this capital extension saver lifer and I have a request please: the apocalypse nightmare manifest v3 which weakens the extensions affects the chrome extensions, but mozilla (and supermium browser and brave browser and catsxp browsers and palemoon and basilisk browsers) decide to challenge the mastodon google and keep support of the manifest v2, we know that the firefox store also adopts the manifest v3 and in same timefirefox store keep the support of the manifest v2 and our wish please is to keep manifest V2 or make the extension for firefox browser compatible with the manifest v2 because certainly the manifest V2 extension for firefox is more powerful and more efficient and will have more features and options than the limited chrome manifest v3 extensions for chrome and chromium browsers!

In addition on firefox and firefox forks like librewolf browser, mercury browser , floorp browser ..... we can avoid the censorship of the firefox store by going to about:config, we can /

install extensions addons outside firefox store :

xpinstall.signatures.required false

extensions.quarantinedDomains.enabled false

the problem is that firefox sometimes seems to have some possible problems to send streaming video to vlc and we hope please a new version that will solve these possible problems with integration of manifest V2, thank you very much !

" Edit the vlc-protocol.bat file and add this line (after the last set url command):

set url=!url:https/=https:/!

For some reason, Firefox is removing colons from links, so this puts them back in. That code is for https, but you could do the same for http, if you need it."
