Makes more usable across the web by enabling all controls, downloads, picture-in-picture, etc. May cause usability issues on some sites but is generally an improvment.

Improves video playback across all websites by fixing common restrictions on elements. Brings back the seek bar, enables downloads, PiP, etc

It works by:

- Enabling video controls on all videos
- Ensuring native controls are clickable and accessible (zIndex)
- Removing restrictions like disablePictureInPicture and disableRemotePlayback
- Clearing controlsList restrictions that prevent downloading

The script automatically detects and fixes both existing videos and new videos that get added to the page dynamically.

Doesn't always work, but works fine on many sites like Snapchat and Instagram. Sometimes sites have extra CSS rules that still keep the controls hidden. More often it'll work but in the process it might break some other functionality of the site so be prepared to toggle it on/off.

Should be compatible with any browser.

Cheers!
