YouTube HTML5 "Save Video As..." RickRoll Remover
Raw
YouTube Save Video RickRoll Remover.js
// Run this on the YouTube page - either in developer tools or elsewhere
if (document.querySelector('a.yt-uix-button-menu-item[href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"]')) { document.querySelector('a.yt-uix-button-menu-item[href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"]').href = document.querySelector('video').src; }
// Note to YouTube: This stupid stunt just makes people angry - don't rickroll the users of your site. In fact, adding the link just helps the downloaders as extensions need much less work to add a context menu now, all they have to do is hook into your save video as link.
