YouTube Default Player Display Size

youtube

Looking for a way to tell YouTube to ALWAYS load my videos in the nice expanded view (not fullscreen, but the one where it's the width of the page and actually visible on a decent sized monitor instead of this tiny thing).

Size Button

^ Hitting the highlighted button will return your view to the small one.

I've found options to set what quality to try to view, I’m already set to the highest. I don't care if it starts @ 240p, as long as the viewport is wide. YouTube used to remember this setting when it first came out, but it doesn't now and I'm going crazy.

Anyone?

Try the Youtube HQ Wide userstyle, works great for me.
