YousableTubeFix for Opera/Chrome configuration guide

Written by Mindeye
Last update Sep 7, 2009

Introduction

This is a guide to configure YousableTubeFix for Opera and YousableTubeFix for Chrome, ports for Opera and Chrome users of my YousableTubeFix script. Due to the lack of the Greasemonkey API in those browsers, they can't be configured with a configuration dialog like YousableTubeFix at this moment. However, they can be configured by editing the configuration variables in the scripts code. An explanation to these variables, where to find them, its possible values and its corresponding option in YousableTubeFix configuration dialog will follow

For reference, this is an image of YousableTubeFix configuration dialog:

Location in the code

After opening the js file with an standard text editor (like Notepad), you will find the variables that can be configured between the following comment lines:

///////////////////////// START OF USER CONFIGURATION /////////////////////////

[Variables that can be configured]

////////////////////////// END OF USER CONFIGURATION //////////////////////////

Please note that not all of the code between those lines are variables that can be configured, only the ones that I will indicate in the following section should be edited by the user. They all are in lines that begin with the instruction var
