## About ##

Simple browser extension that redirects annoying behaviour of YouTube videos being opened embedded in Google Search to Youtube.com directly. This extension also supports opening the video in a new tab and allows the user to go back to the Google Search results using the back button.

In addition, the extension also adds a YouTube button on the Google Search results page, allowing you to quickly and easily redirect your search query to YouTube.

The extension supports Chromium-based browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and Firefox.

## Installation ##

Download the extension :

- Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, etc.)

  [![Chrome](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Drarox/GoogleYoutubeRedirect/master/metadata/images/chrome.png)](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-search-to-youtube/pioognemndfiikaapccdbcphgfdpgekp)

- Firefox

  [![Firefox](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Drarox/GoogleYoutubeRedirect/master/metadata/images/firefox.png)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-to-youtube-redirector/)

Once installed, the extension will automatically redirect any embedded YouTube videos to the actual YouTube website.

## How it works ##

This extension automatically detects when you click on a YouTube video link in Google Search and redirects you to the YouTube website, bypassing the embedded video player in Google Search. You can also right-click on a YouTube video link in Google Search and select "Open Link in New Tab" to open the video on YouTube.com in a new tab.

When you are done watching the video, you can use the back button to return to the Google Search results.
