YouTube Auto Buffer: how did I ever watch YouTube without it?

They're hiding in plain sight underneath YouTube's search box -- not in the Greasemonkey menu as you might expect.

I can't figure out where these preference settings are. Does the above mean once you're playing a video?

Might be useful if you have a slow connection but I've never had any trouble with Youtube stopping and starting. As for blocking out the ads, way to take revenue from Youtube and force them to resort to something far more annoying to pay for the service.
