Summary
UPDATES!! -More consistently loads button onto page even with ads. -There is now a OPTIONS page with 3 new options. To go there, either click the icon in your browser, or head to about:addons and click on Youtube Windowed FullScreen and click the options tab. Please not for Shortcut Key not every key may work correctly as YouTube may block them. Most keys should work if they are not reserved.
