How to download/watch videos on veehd.com, without downloading their (crappy) plugin?
I found a video (which I needed) on a site called "veehd.com". I didn't know the site, and when I pressed "Download" the page tried to install a 'plugin' in my browser.
I knew installing this plugin was a bad idea, so I did a bit of "reverse engineering" (quite easy on .xpi/.crx-addons - it's just .zip files) and found out that all you need to do, to download / watch videos on the site, is to add a new meta tag on the page:
-->
<meta name="VeeHD" content="plugin for corp">
<!--
Yep! That's all it takes.
To do this easy in Google Chrome press "Ctrl + Shift + I" then open the "<head>" tag and rename:
-->
<meta name="robots" content="noarchive">
<!-- to -->
<meta name="VeeHD" content="plugin for corp">
<!--
And now you can download it, using the "download"-button.
Playing the video directly require DivX WebPlayer.
Also note that the 'plugin' (/addon) they offer you, will change your "new tab" (chrome) and search engine (FF), so don't install it.

EDIT: And here's a 'how to' picture (not the video I needed, but just a random chosen video):
