Short chrome browser extension I wrote some time ago that rewrites normal urls to videos like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvPPXbo87ds

into embedded video urls like this

https://www.youtube.com/embed/jvPPXbo87ds?autoplay=1

bypassing ads and running video in full browser window.

Since I watch a lot of youtube I think it might have saved me 100 hours of waiting so I can press Skip Ad button.

I probably should just use AdBlock but where's the fun in that.
