en A bit tricky to install, but once you get past that, rest will be worth it I guarantee.. I take a lotta screenshot among videos for my notes, and it's always the youtube interface shadow that gets in the way; so this extension massively helped me ignoring those overlays shadow via playing those videos on VLC turning on "minimal interface" Thanks a ton devs <3

en The icon has a red "E" on it, which I'm pretty sure means error. Would be great if it told me what was wrong.
