Kamil “Wyczess” Pawlak (ID: 000000f24f10020d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/13/2023 Works great thank you! It would be nice if it would also redirect back to google when backing to previous site becouse now its looping

Bad Barracuda (ID: 000000a2348b942c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/17/2023 Thanks so much for creating this! It's so annoying that google search results recently started opening YouTube links in Google rather than YouTube. I found the link on this reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/10dfy4s/why_are_google_video_searches_now_opening_youtube/). I have the exact same experience and view of this issue as the creator of that post.
