Doesn't work! At least not for shorts.

Poorly maintained. The extension works, but it also breaks the miniplayer and video queue features. Whenever the miniplayer is open and the mouse hovers another video thumbnail, the extension tries to close the miniplayer. If only one video is inside the queue, it succedes and the player just dissapears. If 2 or more videos are in the queue, a warning message appears asking if we indeed want to close the player.. This makes it impossible to "add to queue" videos, as the queue just empties itself every time the cursor hovers over any other video... I can't possibly recommand an extension that breaks such an important functionality that I use daily.
