Script Summary: Adds video titles, shows previews and embeds on click. Also supported: Vimeo, LiveLeak, WorldStarHipHop, Nicovideo
Version: 2013.5.16
What it does
- If link text doesn't contain a URL, the video title will be added as tooltip instead.
- A crossed out link indicates that the video is unavailable (probably blocked in your country).
- Move cursor over links to see preview images.
- URLs are rewritten to clean HTTPS addresses.
- Time offsets like "t=3m21s" are preserved.
- You can still follow links normally by middle click, Ctrl + click etc.
- Some uploaders don't want their videos to be embedded. These videos will open in a new tab.
- Embed modes:
- inline (link gets replaced with video)
- draggable, non-scrolling in-page popup (default)
- freely resizable popup window (doesn't close when you leave the page)
- Partial support for Nico Nico Douga (no embedding)
- Full support for Vimeo, LiveLeak and WorldStarHipHop
- Titles are cached to reduce traffic and delay on subsequent visits.
Compatibility
- Firefox + Greasemonkey (recommended)
- Chrome + Tampermonkey
- Opera + Violentmonkey
Please note
This script only processes genuine (clickable) HTML links.Install something like 4chan Linkify in order to make text links clickable.
