YouTube is the first option that comes to our mind when we want to search for a video or a clip. YouTube has been dominating the online video industry many years and non of the competitors were able to come any closer. No wonder Google bought it in the end. Let see some of the cool YouTube hacks and tricks that can ease your life.

Repeat Mania?

Are you someone who loves to repeat your favorite song X number of times? then this trick is for you. Just replace the youtube in the address bar with “listenonrepeat”. That’s it.

E.g. http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=5Krz-dyD-UQ

Download YouTube Videos

By default YouTube doesn’t allow you to download videos. You can simply use third party video scrappers such as keepvid. But there is another handy trick that will help you to download the YouTube video easily without much hassle. All you have to do is add a “ss” between www. and youtube.com.

E.g. http://www.ssyoutube.com/watch?v=5Krz-dyD-UQ

Rip MP3

You can easily rip mp3 off from a YouTube video. Copy the url of your Video and head directly to http://www.vidtomp3.com/

Browse Video Using Shortcut keys

We often encounter a boring video that we’d like to drag using the slider. But wait.. you don’t have to drag using mouse, simply press 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and see what happens. Mind blown yeah?

Say Bye to Flash

Do you know that you don’t have to rely on flash to play the YouTube videos. You can visit http://www.youtube.com/html5 and opt-in to play videos in HTML5 player. Cool isn’t it.
