Easy YouTube GreaseMonkey Script
As a lot of the presenters at Scripting Enabled complained about there not being an easy way to go from YouTube to Easy YouTube (forgetting that there is a bookmarklet available in the documentation) I’ve spent 3 minutes to knock up a GreaseMonkey script to install.
It injects a big green link button taking the user to Easy YouTube to play the same video into the page above the video:
You can install the GreaseMonkey Script by activating the following link on a GreaseMonkey enabled Firefox install: Install Easy YouTube for YouTube
I am pondering to also add an off-screen link for screen readers, would that be useful?

If there is an on-screen one anyway, why would that help? Unless you added it at or near the top of the page?

To avoid people having to find this one in the tag-soup that is YouTube. Again, a shame we cannot detect screenreaders as we could auto-redirect then
