Let's get this out of the way: Youtube does not care about you. They will not fix anything for the sake of people's comfort.

Even something as basic as setting the Player Size to "Big" and your preferred Video Quality (720p for me) as the default is not something I figured out how to do with just Youtube itself. I'm doing it every time anyway, why can't Youtube just let me set my own defaults?

So it's up to users like eugenox to fix this for easily annoyed people like myself. And maybe you as well:

https://greasyfork.org/scripts/593-yays-yet-another-youtube-script

Code (link posted because incredibly long): https://greasyfork.org/scripts/593-yays-yet-another-youtube-script/code

Instructions:
1. Install the Greasemonkey Extension for your internet browser
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/?src=search

For Chrome, you can get TamperMonkey, but keep in mind, I have not tested this script for Chrome:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en

2. Install the Script: https://greasyfork.org/scripts/593-yays-yet-another-youtube-script

3. Visual Aid: http://i.imgur.com/K1r0PJN.jpg
Go to a Youtube video. If you scroll down to where the thumbs up/down, about, share, add to, transcripts, statistics and flag tabs are (see visual aid), you will see a new "gear" icon, which will now be your new youtube settings. Click it.

4. Set your preferred settings as you want.

Done. Enjoy not having to do needless tedious clicks every time you watch a youtube video.

You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

Pretty sure there was a Firefox extension that added this and a lot more stuff to an embedded "control panel" on youtube, including dealing with the buffering changes a while back. Still, options are cool, thanks for sharing them.

I tried out Youtube Center months ago. Way too many settings to really know what's what.

I just use this one because it's a lot simpler, and changing the default size and quality was the only ones I cared about anyway.
