NOSTALGIA PURA XDD

Quest'estensione è davvero ben fatta e mi piace tantissimo. 🤩 Mi piace usare YouTube con la grafica di una volta. Tuttavia c'è un problema: i timestamps non sono più cliccabili, perciò devo mettere in loop un timestamp con un'estensione esterna e ciò risulta scomodo. Sarebbe fantastico se questo piccolo intoppo si potesse risolvere.
