Nice! I still use Greasemonkey and love it. Relatedly, I have a greasemonkey script[1] that makes Snapchat on web much more usable. I just updated it to include this video fixer logic so now it's easy to scrobble videos and download them. It uses the MutationObserver API to immediately 'fix' any <video> element added to the page. Really I should just copy you and make a version of it that just does the video fixing but runs on every site. It's crazy how browsers have a nice built in pro-user video element, but that every site intentionally overrides and degrades it... edit: I went ahead and turned this into a greasemonkey script as well: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/531780-universal-video-fix...

Turns out this doesn't work on facebook or instagram reels. I only watch the latter on my phone but whenever I do open reels on web in the infinite scroll mode it does not work. it works on direct links to a particular reel though. | ||

That's great. The one site I definitely need it on is instagram whenever I happen to open a reel on web. And I'd like it on reddit because its video player sucks, but it just adds it on top of it so I have now ended up disabling it everywhere else. | ||
