Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Toogles (http://toogl.es) is a super fast minimal alternative interface for YouTube. It's refreshingly different than the bulk of YouTube.com.

This extension just redirects you to the Toogles version of any YouTube video that you open (it ignores all other YouTube pages such as playlists and users). That's it. No hidden features or sketchy permissions or anything like that.

If you really want to view a video on YouTube you can click the video's title on Toogles to force it that once (or just add &toogles=0 to the end of the YouTube video URL).

All the videos I tried are redirected to OOPS youtube do not have this video anymore. When I turn the extension off I can watch the video on youtube direct. Nice ide but does not work.

Mike's extension and website is a huge improvement over the sluggish and bloated default Youtube interface. Runs lightning fast as compared to Youtube page, which frequently takes 15 or more seconds to start up. Highly recommended.
