You can use polyfill injector to install this script:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?9,153735

Alternatively you can add header lines and use some sort of Greasemonkey

// ==UserScript==
// @name        bitchute
// @namespace   btc1
// @include     https://www.bitchute.com/*
// @run-at document-start
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

Thanks for your helpful ideas!

Thanks for your skills and efforts, Kris.
Pity I can't use it myself on old systems, and keep wishing you'd have appeared years before, when there was much more life yet here, a lot more users, and exactly such addon skills were direly missed (Dorian could surely have done it too, but far too much time already needed to catch up with Mozilla's tricky engine updates)

Just a hint about posting code:
The forum handles stuff like "[ i ]" as invisible bbcode tag, making text italic.
To avoid this, there are 2 switches between editor field and subject line:
☑ Disable bbcode for this message
☑ Disable smileys for this message

Oh, it turned out to be unexpected for me.
Typically, the CODE tag protects the text from accidental recognition of other tags.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, it is no longer working.
The playful hands of the bitchute developers changed something again. )
Let's wait a bit...

There's a misunderstanding.... Simply edit the first post again and do check the 2 boxes, then you can paste the original js-code as is and it shows up. And js-clueless users can simply copy-paste too.

In this case, the "Code" Tag does not work and indents are lost.

Alternatively you can just escape the square brackets (quote this post to see the changes) with a backslash:

          if(lnk[i].href=='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/plyr/3.6.9/plyr.min.css'
            lnk[i].href='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/plyr/3.3.9/plyr.css';;

Note that sometimes work, some might not.

In the other hand does JavaScript care about spaces between square brackets? It doesn't with parenthesis. So you could leave as you did now.

JohnHell, thank you!
I did not know that BB codes can be escaped.
Yes, the spaces inside the brackets do not interfere with the script.
But now it is no longer relevant, since there are no [i] in the new version of the script.

I updated the script, added the download button. Now it works.
