This seems to works in Greasemonkey with least issues so far. The modified launcher script modifies the target script to address the issue with
strict-origin-when-cross-origin, which breaks dislike count and search box suggestions.

This hides from the user when the actual V3 interface scripts gets updated, but I guess it's where they're taking it. It's odd that executing V3 script directly in Greasemonkey makes it bug out, but it works through this script. Neither use any Gresemonkey features I think.
It was noticed that unlike original YT interface, loop playback of playlists currently doesn't work (nothing to do with web browser).
