Adds an "Archive Me" button to YouTube video action panels that redirects to PreserveTube.com with the current video URL.
A simple, lightweight userscript that adds a dedicated "Archive Me" button next to the Like/Dislike controls on any YouTube video watch page, allowing for one-click preservation of the video's URL.
This script serves a single purpose: to help users quickly archive YouTube content using a third-party service.
When you click the new Archive Me button, the script immediately redirects your browser to:
https://preservetube.com/save?url=[CURRENT_YOUTUBE_URL]
This is extremely useful for:
Preservation: Ensuring that video metadata and potential downloads are saved before a video is deleted or made private.
Speed: Eliminating the need to copy the URL, navigate to the archiving site, and paste the link manually.
Seamless Integration: The button is styled to mimic YouTube's modern UI (including the hover effect and button shape) and is placed logically next to the engagement controls.
No External Dependencies: The script runs entirely using native browser JavaScript and does not load external libraries via @require or any other method, keeping it fast and secure.
No Tracking or Ads: The code contains no anti-features, tracking, ads, or miners.
Match Pattern: The script only runs on YouTube watch pages (*://www.youtube.com/watch?v=*).
DOM Reliability: It uses waitForElement and a MutationObserver to ensure the button appears reliably even when navigating between videos on YouTube's Single Page Application (SPA) architecture.
