Watch YouTube videos in full screen mode

Here's a quick and easy hack that allows you to watch YouTube videos in full-screen mode... well, not full screen, but so that the video fills the entire browser window that you are watching the YouTube video in.

When you click on a link for a YouTube video, the URL in the address bar looks something like this:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=grCTXGW3sxQ

When you are looking at a video in YouTube, just go up to the address bar and edit the URL. You are going to remove the "watch?" section of the URL and change the "=" to a "/". If you do for the example YouTube URL above, here's what your new URL would look like:

http://youtube.com/v/grCTXGW3sxQ

When you do this, the YouTube video will now play so that it fills the entire browser window.
