Description

• Video demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBIpGo_E5YQ.
• The Google Chrome extension version of this script uses a page action icon shown in the browser toolbar.
• The icon will be full-color when users navigate to a URL that contains forum.sa-mp.com, showing that the script is active and will be grey-scale when users navigate to any other URL, showing that the script is inactive.
• When the script is active, it will scan the HTML document for any hyperlinks that look like a typical censored YouTube video URL and replace the censored URL with a working one. If the hyperlink text is also censored, it will be repaired as well.
• The script will also scan for non-working YouTube embedded video players [ame]...[/ame] and will replace them with a working one.
