If you like these changes, then lets get started. Estimated Time: 5 minutes
1- First, download and install Firefox(FF) web browser. Click Here
2-Once thats done with download GreaseMonkey which is an extension for FF. Click Here
Greasemonkey allows you to run scripts that make websites act differently. When its installed you should see a monkey on the right hand corner of FF. So once its install now you need to download the script.
3- This script will give you the download options and also higher resolution video. It does have one annoying feature (at least in my opinion), which is looping of videos, but don't worry we can change that easily. Here's the script. Click install on the right.
4- Once installed go to any youtube video and you should see the changes I mentioned. If you're satisfied and don't want the black background you can stop here and jump to step 9 if you want to fix the looping of videos. If not then, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your new youtube.
5- To get the black background, we have to install another addon called Stylish for FF. Click here
6- Once installed you should see the following on your right hand corner in FF. (click to enlarge)
7- Now go to www.youtube.com
8- Now click on stylish and a menu should pop up. Select "Find Styles for this Page"
This should open up another tab, where you will find many different styles for Youtube. The one that i'm using to make mine black is called aByte: another Black YouTube Embodiment. Find it on the list or simply click here . Scroll to the bottom and click Load Into Stylish. And thats it!!
So now you have YouTube ready to watch and download as you please. THANKS FOR READING!!
Now.. if you do not like the fact that the video loops at the end because of the Greasemonkey video, like I didn't, here is the quick fix.
9- Right-Click on Greasemonkey and Manage User Script. A window should pop up. On the left hand panel, select Youtube HQ +720p Ultimate.... Now on the bottome left hand corner click on Edit. It should ask you to pick what program to edit the script with. Find and select notepad.
It should be in your Windows directory. (ex. C:\windows\notepad.exe) Click ok and it should open up.
10- You should get the following window. The line that we need to fix is is titled "loop" (look at the picture for reference) (click to enlarge)
11- Save it and you're done. No more looping at the end of the video!
