Extension summary

In September of 2019, YouTube abbreviated all subscriber counts across their website and api. This extension uses nia-statistics.com and axern.space to get an estimated subscriber count of those channels. It displays then where the abbreviated counts would be.

Please note that these are just estimations since only the channel owner can know their actual subscriber count.
