I have a slow internet connection and I changed the setting in YouTube to "I have a slow connection and never play HD video". Even so, it starts loading the video in 360, so that every time I need to change it to 240. I tried setting even auto, but it keeps getting pauses.

Is there anyway to change it to 240 permanently?

I use the "Turn Off the Lights" browser extension (Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Edge, Maxthon and Yandex web browser). In the option page you can choose the quality of the YouTube video to 144p or even 4K (ultra HD)

You can download on either website:

Use the Improve YouTube! browser extension: Chrome version / Firefox version.

Once installed, click on the extension's button → Player → Quality → 240p to configure it to play videos in 240p by default. (You can also configure it to use other resolutions by default.) Settings screenshot:

You can try using browser extensions. For example, Magic Actions For YouTube allows this (https://www.mycinema.pro/)
