## Description

YouTube uses many tricks to keep you watching their videos, and it can be overwhelming. This extension changes YouTube video or playlist links to an embedded version where only the videos are shown, helping you avoid those distracting recommendations. It also helps protect your privacy by redirecting you to a no-cookie embedded link. If you encounter any issues, please submit them in my Git repository, and feel free to contribute!
