    <thetext>YouTubePluginReplacement rewrites on the fly websites so that their embed elements calling the Flash plugin would be converted in the appropriate code and modern way of calling videos on YouTube.

It would be interesting to measure the frequency of access to YouTubePluginReplacement.cpp to determine if it&apos;s still needed and if removing it would create a lot of breakages.

`diagnosticLoggingClient()` could help

A previous attempt at removing was done on Bug 232400
but it was added again because of legacy dependencies on Bug 237182</thetext>
