YouTube Swapper Extension

Replace whatever YouTube video you're watching with what the creator actually wants you to watch.

If you're a creator, include a line in your YouTube video's description like so:
YouTube Swapper: http://www.example.com/video/link

Only supports links to BitChute and YouTube.

Note: This is something I thought up and programmed in a few days, and as of Dec. 28th 2019 it is brand new, simplistic, and doesn't have many features. It's free an open source. You can find the source code at: https://github.com/Trumpet63/YouTube-Swapper I'm open to feature requests and bug reports.
