If there is one Firefox add-on for Youtube that sticks out of the crowd it’s the Better Youtube extension by Lifehacker. Better Youtube is a compilation of Greasemonkey scripts compiled together in an add-on which has several advantages.

The other kid being Youtube in this case and the crying baby Pakistan, or more precisely the leaders of Pakistan.
