📌 Note from the developer:

Thanks for taking the time to check out this extension. I'm a YouTuber like you so I built this originally for myself and it ended up turning out nice so I wanted to make it available for others. I'm open to feedback so if there is anything I can do to make it better for you let me know.

Cheers,
Nick
