No longer works, unfortunately.

Does not do what it's supposed to! I downloaded it so that it can automatically disable annotations for me, but every video I've watched shows annotations, which are right back on behind my back when I look in the settings! The worst part is, this annotation hasn't been updated since the end of 2018, and I haven't found any that have newer versions than this!
