Thanks for this. I'm not sure why they wouldn't use a fallback mechanism instead of making this an explicit setting?

Edit: This is strange. I went to change the setting and it is greyed out and cannot be changed. This is in both chrome AND firefox. Both are up to date with most recent version, and my macbook was bought this year. Neither have adblockers enabled.

It is indeed strange, I have been using this option for some time. Works like a charm on 2015 mbps, as well as older ones. There is maybe an issue with your specific model ? That might also explain why it is not a default yet.
