| /* | |
| This is a script (albeit a bit hacky) to isolate a webpage to its single <video> element. | |
| Useful on website that have a <video> element surrounded by a bunch of garbage (ads, chat windows, etc.). | |
| Doesn't work if there are multiple <video> elements (well, it might if <video> happens to be grabbed as the first element). | |
| To use: Copy the script below, open developer console on webpage (right click >> inspect element >> console), paste, and hit enter. | |
