Perfect extension. Sadly no longer supported.

Was working nice until recently (Opera). Override mode doesn't refresh the page and allows me to watch the video; it takes me to the home page of Youtube and only allows me to look at thumbnails (because if I click on a video, it blocks me again, and so on). Rather annoying while doing browsing for work-related researches, since I now have to manually deactivate the app in my extensions tab.
