Hi there. Maybe Im wrong but isn’t this very similiar to http://www.YouTube.com/xxl ? And there’s also /trailer for movie lovers. But thanks for the in depth explanation on the settings.
Made a mistake in the earlier post. Meant youtube.com/XL instead off xxl. Sorry
A full screen video is better and no plug-in required. Am I missing the point?
This is a cool article, and it’s true. Just google “factopo”
Why do you want to do all this painful method?
Youtube has already provided this option built-in, you can do this in just one click on any window without doing anything. See on the top right corner of the video, there is a button called “pop out video to new window”. Just press that and you are done
Personally I think this add-on is better than the youtube options.
