Why are my YouTube videos suddenly fuzzy in Safari?

Why are my YouTube videos suddenly fuzzy in Safari? It happened all of a sudden. Last week and for months before that, YouTube videos were not fuzzy in Safari. They are not fuzzy in Google Chrome. But I don't want to switch to Chrome. How do I fix it? Is it possible to fix it?

HI there required desired alias, 


We understand that videos from specific websites are not playing clearly on your Mac in Safari. 


Can you hop over to Apple Events and test one of the videos there to see if you’re having any issues? 


A few other things you can do in Safari are to clear history, cookies and website data. Here’s how - Clear your browsing history in Safari on Mac


Please also be sure that we’re working the latest incremental update for the macOS you have installed. You can check that in System Preferences > Software Update. 


Thanks.
