[Feature request] Open YouTube page from embedded video

Post by mobopro »

In Vienna, you can't currently click on the YouTube logo in an embedded video to open up the video's YouTube page (to read comments or whatever). It should allow you to do so.

The current workaround is you have to open the page in a browser and do so from there.

I consider it as a voluntary security restriction : script and plugins are not allowed to open a new window.

You can use the right click command "Copy video URL" then paste it in the address field.

I see your point. In the feeds I subscribe to however, I very often want to open the YouTube page, and cutting and pasting is clunky. Perhaps this could be a user preference?
