Shutup YouTube av BG Dev

Got tired of YouTube telling me their opinion and decided to make an extension to remove it. This plugin started as nothing except to remove the constant nag below videos that is just a huge link to google services. I have added a few features since then, and will be adding more. This plugin is very privacy focused and never requests or sends data from or to any external service, other than YouTube. Zero data will ever be collected by me ... EVER.

* Get rid of annoying nagging below videos
* NEW Restore Dislikes
* NEW Stop seeing Recommended Content
* NEW Stop seeing News Content
* NEW Stop seeing Covid Content

New in version 1.0
* Full rewrite of entire extension from the ground up.
* Settings page and popup have been reworked for better clarity.
* Everything now works on an as needed or asked for basis.
* Scripts only get injected to the webpage when your settings allow and are needed.
* For dislikes to work smoothly in Firefox I had to add an external call to YouTube, which you can disable in the settings. If you disable the "Allow YouTube Background Connections" setting, but choose "Show Dislikes", the video page will have to reload to get dislikes. Firefox gives cached information on a clicked link to the same website.
* Access to browser tabs is needed for injecting the scripts only when needed, reloading the page and communication with the background script that gets current dislikes from YouTube.

New in version 1.1
* Fixed a few typos
* Made Recommended content removal more reliable on page load
* Fixed Recommended content not being removed on slower machines, as YouTube re-injects the elements on page load

New in version 1.2
* Fixed Scripts not loading in to new background tabs. Waits til background tab is clicked on unless the tab is active.
* Fixed Script being re-injected to page when switching between tabs.
* Added more redundancy to make sure your choices take effect.
* Cleaned up debug logging info.

See https://www.TheBSydz.com for cryptocurrency donation addresses. If you use Brave browser, BAT is accepted at the website. I will be releasing the extension on the Chrome web store soon. Never feel obligated to donate, but this did take quite a bit of time and effort to stay as privacy focused as possible. Support my mental well-being for supporting yours.
