It is really good returning YouTube homepage for the extension if it detected as non-educational. The instructions was a challenge to set up when figure where is where in the set up guide. Only issue that I am currently seeing is the non-educational videos is still there and tolerate it if I chose it wrong as I would like to see the page without the non-educational or highlighting the video thumbnail non-educational so that we can choose videos that we can watch from main page or search bar.

Pretty good extension! Saves me a lot of time but instructions for installation could be more clear. Other than that it's a great extension. Thank you so much Eric!
