Youtube No Cap — Subtitle

Tired of YouTube captions turning themselves back on? Even after you toggle them off, YouTube re-enables them on the next video, after ads, or when you reload the page. Account-level "Always show captions" silently overrides every manual toggle.

YouTube No Cap fixes this. Once installed:

• Captions are turned off the moment you load any YouTube page
• If YouTube tries to turn them back on (auto-translate, account settings, ads, player rebuild), they are flipped back off instantly
• On youtube.com/account_playback, the "Always show captions" setting is automatically unchecked so the root cause goes away

How it works:
A single content script watches the YouTube captions button via a MutationObserver. The instant the button's pressed-state flips on, the extension flips it off again, with no flash, no delay. No background tasks, no popup, no data collection.

Lightweight: the entire extension is under 5 KB. Works on watch pages, the homepage, search results, and channel pages. Respects YouTube's single-page navigation, so it stays active as you click between videos.

Privacy:
This extension does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any data. It only runs on www.youtube.com and only interacts with the captions controls on that page.
