Rewrite YouTube links to SkipCut links before they are opened

Title: YouTube → SkipCut New Tab Opener

Description: Opens any YouTube video, live stream, or playlist link in a new browser tab, already redirected to SkipCut — without affecting the current page. Works on all websites, including YouTube itself, and blocks YouTube’s internal SPA navigation from hijacking your click.

Features:

Works with:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID → https://www.skipcut.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID

https://www.youtube.com/live/LIVE_ID → https://www.skipcut.com/live/LIVE_ID

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYLIST_ID → https://www.skipcut.com/playlist?list=PLAYLIST_ID

Opens in a new tab on normal left-click — no need for Ctrl+click.

Stops YouTube’s SPA router from loading the video in the current tab.

Works site-wide, not just on YouTube.

MIT licensed and open source.

Perfect for: Users who want every YouTube link to load directly in SkipCut without replacing their current page.
