Stuck in a bad relationship with YouTube? No more!

I prefer Vimeo for its great design, simplicity, and quality.  YouTube is also known for having the worst comments on the web - even glancing at them can be a downer.

Want some?  It’s easy. All you need is Firefox and the Stylish add-on (if you don’t already have it). Read on for instructions…

Here’s how to get it:

(1) Download and install the Stylish add-on for Firefox.
(2) Browse to a YouTube clip (on YouTube, not embedded) like this one.

(4) Type “YouTube + Extra Awesome” in the description box, then paste this file (below) into the large text box and click Save. Enjoy!
