I typed a little quickly and distractedly. I do still »use« the video
sites. Just I never use their player. ^^
It’s become automatic:
- press y in Firefox (vim addon’s hotkey to copy current URL)
- switch to terminal, press ",y " and insert url (",y" being my bash alias
  for youtube-dl)
- wait a moment or open a second terminal and watch the video while it’s
  still being downloaded. Try that, Windows. :D


Hm.. maybe I should try Palemoon, too. I’m keeping Firefox on version
49 because my beloved vim addon is not signed. I can’t live^wbrowse without
it.
