Overview

YouTube raw SBS/3D helper is a focused utility for old YouTube 3D uploads that still contain a raw stereo stream inside the player.

When YouTube renders those videos through a processed canvas layer, this extension can hide that processed layer and reveal the
original underlying video element instead. On supported pages, the extension enables SBS mode automatically and adds a small in-
player control so you can turn the behavior on or off without leaving the video.

What it does:
- Works on YouTube watch pages
- Detects a supported raw-video plus canvas player structure
- Restores raw SBS or top-bottom 3D presentation when available
- Reapplies the setting across YouTube's in-page navigation

What it does not do:
- It does not download or re-encode video
- It does not modify videos on YouTube's servers
- It does not guarantee support for every historical 3D upload

This extension is intended for niche legacy 3D content where the raw SBS or top-bottom stream is still present in the browser
player but hidden behind YouTube's processed rendering path.
