works, change your language to english if it only opens the menu for you

To the developer, this is a great functional program and it has worked flawlessly. My only gripe with it is that my experience with it was not too user friendly. Using keyboard binds instead of clicking something with the mouse requires using both hands instead of the one holding the mouse, although I understand programmatically it may be easier than making UI changes to youtube.com. Second thing was that I am not fond of the requirement to hold either Alt or Ctrl with a alphabet letter to trigger the ignore. This could be remedied with allowing any keybind, whether by letters, numbers, symbols, even mouse buttons? Minor thing, the tab that has this text uses a color combination that is unreadable: "Not Interested! Easily mark YouTube videos and playlists as Not interested. Binding: Alt+Z You can change the keyboard binding for this extension in chrome://extensions/shortcuts Following a recent YouTube update, homepage videos will highlight in the area you need to hover to mark the video as Not Interested!"

It is sooooo great and useful, thanks a lot!
