Now, hack that to be

That's it! "watch?v=" becomes "/"

No more torture!

How about this for a cool one - did you want to listen to a YouTube video and not have to waste power on the screen? Now you can :

You go to Safari and put in youtube.com. Good. Now, the site comes up and, you then tap on the AA on the left of the address bar. That brings up a menu on which you can select "Request Desktop Website". That's it! You're now in business. Yes, it's harder to read stuff because it's your tiny screen and you've "asked for it," but, now, once you start playing the video and it pauses after you lock the screen. You just swipe and tap play to get it rolling again! Nice?
