+# youtube-auto-timestamper.user.js
+
+## Purpose
+
+This script stores the YouTube video time in the URL. This means when the page is reloaded, bookmarked or even visited in history, the current watch time gets preserved.
+
+I think Google already does this for you if you have an account, but I don't (and I don't think you should either.)
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Install Violentmonkey (untested on other userscript managers)
+2. Click [here](https://github.com/ewy1/youtube-auto-timestamper/raw/refs/heads/master/youtube-auto-timestamper.user.js) to install this script.
+
+## Details
+
+* The script has a startup delay of ten seconds. This is to prevent it from mangling the URL when following links from `youtu.be`, where it would mangle the link and make the script (and site) stop functioning.
