I'm glad somebody's offering a fix, though in my case I'm used to messing with YT links, and would probably fix it manually rather than install anything.
I've written a couple of very small routines to process links, one is to embed any YT link into an otherwise plain HTML document - I wrote that so I could watch YT videos embedded without going to the poxy YT website, because here in the UK they've made that dependent on the user agreeing to their privacy policy, which can only serve to strengthen their legal immunity over privacy breaches. Simple embedded offline pages just play the video usually, and they respond better, the streaming is less glitchy.
The other routine is just for cleaning up those links they put on Facebook, which in their native form aren't simply links to the web pages of interest, they're stuffed with extra bits that presumably tell FB and the other website how the user got there, so I figured it would be fun to nobble any targeted marketing antics that it might be in aid of. Unfortunately neither of the routines would be likely to work on a modern computer. What I'd really like is a utility that allowed me to write programs that ran on any version of Windows without needing the user to install anything, just run the .exe file.
