What it does

Prompts the user to input the ID of a YouTube video (the string of random characters after the v= in the URL), and if the video has been archived on archive.org, takes the user directly to the video file.

Installation

Bookmark this page, edit bookmark, replace URL contents with contents of bookmarklet.js.

Make sure the URL starts with javascript:, as most modern browsers will automatically remove that from copied content.
