User reviews
It's great when it works, though most of the time sadly it doesn't work. Every now and then I go to videos that I know for a fact are on Odysee just to check if the extension redirects me, half of the time it doesn't work. Sometimes I can fix it with refreshing, other times I need to reinstall the extension.

Is the subscription convertion feature still working? Struglling to get the csv file that I got from Google working:
Go to https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout
Deselect everything except YouTube and YouTube Music and within that only select subscriptions
Go through the process and create the export
Once it's exported, open the archive and find YouTube and YouTube Music/subscriptions/subscriptions.json and upload it to the extension
