I very commonly would like to know the viewcount of a video before watching it. Was wondering if you could make the following an option in your userscript:

-Upon hover over Youtube link, Youtube video title AND viewcount are shown.

If not, maybe you can gimme some code that I could add into the script myself to have something like that.

Thankyou!

I won't add this feature to the official version because I don't really see the benefit but here's a modified version that does what you want:

YouTubeLinkTitle-ytviewcount.user.js

Important:
- I won't update it in the future.
- I recommend uninstalling the current version and restarting Firefox before installing this one.

Thank you so much!

My reasoning on this option:
When people post a bunch of videos on a particular topic (say a music artist I'm unfamiliar with), I commonly want to watch the most popular video 1st....since that one is more likely to be the better of the rest.

I hope you reconsider making this an optional feature in future releases...but of course, its your choice and I appreciate what you've done. This stuff is free and I couldn't be more grateful.
