Youtube - Fix channel links in sidebar recommendations

Fixes the channel links for the "Up next" and recommendated videos below it on youtube.



For whatever reason, youtube decided that you should no longer be able to click on a channel's name in the recommended videos (the sidebar on video pages) to go to that channel.
This script fixes that (more or less).


To achieve this I had to use AJAX, so when you click a channel name it might take a second before the page starts to load. This is because the script has to fetch the link to the channel from that video's page.
Though in my experience it's almost instant.

The channel will open to the /videos section by default. This can now be changed. Just find the option in the Tampermonkey menu and click it.


Now also (sort of) supports middle mouse for opening channel in a new tab.
Bug- Middle mouse currently also opens the actual video in another tab. Will try to fix later. ...oh and looks like it doesn't work on chrome at all either right now. Problem only with middle mouse.
