YouTube․com no longer supports 4K video playback in Safari

<p>A recent discussion (https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/5ixweg/since_when_there_is_no_4k_option_for_youtube_in/) on Reddit has brought to light the news that YouTube no longer has the 4K video playback option when using Safari. The change may have come after a long ago announcement (https://youtube-eng.googleblog.com/2015/04/vp9-faster-better-buffer-free-youtube.html) that YouTube began encoding uploaded videos into VP9. The change seems to affect recently uploaded videos, and thus so far only seen on the main YouTube site and not within embeds.</p>
