It is truly amazing at how quickly YouTube became not just a household name, but also something that all types of people can use. This service can appeal as much to grandparents as it does to teenagers with all of the possibilities. Heck, my weekly poker group has even started to film our poker games, load them on YouTube, and display them on our poker groups website!

Anyway, I decided that it was about time to throw together another top 10 list. This time, with the focus on YouTube, I decided that it would be neat to feature a bunch of the incredible YouTube Greasemonkey scripts that are available for people to use. You can get Greasemonkey now for IE7 and Opera, in addition to the Firefox extension, so pretty much anyone should be able to find some use for these:

  1. YouTube Prevent Autoplay – Stops videos from automatically playing. You can then click on it when you are ready to view it.
  2. YouTube Resizer – Allows you to resize YouTube videos. Great for making videos bigger and easier to view.
  3. YouTube Cleaner – Eliminates the extra junk from the YouTube page that you never use.
  4. YouTube Video Only – Removes everything from the page but the YouTube video itself. You can also move the comments next to the video.
  5. YouTube Googler – Makes the YouTube page look like Google Video (much larger video screen).
  6. YouTube Embed Video Downloader – Displays a link to download FLV movies.
  7. YouTube Better Titles – Adjusts titles to help differentiate from multiple videos with the same titles.
  8. YouTube Better Embed – Adjusts embed code to be XHTML 1.0 compliant, which helps with embedding into sites.
  9. Remove YouTube Comments – Removes all YouTube comments.
  10. Coralized YouTube – Uses coral’s cache servers to allow videos to load faster.
