Thanks for creating this, but need easier option to disable and re-enable this, currently we have to go in settings and then disable it. Can you make it done maybe from the menu or clicking the extension icon. Thanks

Good, but some features are broken (I can see it hasn't been updated since 2022...). Using ProdYouTivity instead which also allows me to remove Shorts.
