A review is probably not the proper forum for this communication, but as this is your only review, I thought I'd give it a go...
Hey, 0x08 I just tried this addon, and I found a couple of problems. One you already found, and the other, I don't think you found it yet.
First, this did not work for me. Because I happen to write user scripts for myself and wanted this to work, I looked at the js file in the extension.
At first I noticed that the variable waitSecs was set but not used.
While I was looking at this, you updated the addon. Not kidding.
The second problem still remaining is that it fails to find a collection of link elements using the selector "a[href^='/redir']"
using the mozilla reference for selectors, I tried instead to use:
"a[href*='/redir']" - which of course matches all links containing
the substring '/redir' which is what you wanted to do.
I tested this change, and that fixed the issue.
I copied and pasted these into a user script, and tried it. The other change I needed - because it is a user script, it is loaded to late to receive the 'DOMContentLoaded' event, so I had to explicitly trigger it to test it.

Is Youtube blind redirect Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Youtube blind redirect requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
