Chrome Youtube Extension
//Modified version of Youtube Automatic Quality changer that supports:
// Wide-Mode with white background and reset to default when wide-mode is removed
// Full-screen resize with auto-resize on window change
// Quicklist detection and auto-resize using timer
// Disable annotations. Perform manually using: http://www.youtube.com/account#playback/annotations
//Original source: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/hgijgnfdfpfnkfliikinfajhdmphahpj
//Apply changes to "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\hgijgnfdfpfnkfliikinfajhdmphahpj\1.31_0\ytc.js"
//TODO:
// Add page action for max video size and channel->standard page link. (see comments page)
// Add support for detecting non-widescreen aspect ratio? (still works resonably well)
// Detect when scrollbars are visible and resize accordingly (sometimes happens when window is resized too small)
// Drag and drop to quick play list?
//Test video with all video sizes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izeBoPOpmY8

Still a work in progress. I want to add a few more features, write a blog post, make a video, and then post it to the Extensions library
