## Description

This simply extracts the video ID and forms a short YouTube URL like <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/fd4fa63ba335b120c39b2376d1dc1c32dc688de62e66a6e9b8864e2b4c96055a/https%3A//youtu.be/abcdefghjk9" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/abcdefghjk9</a> and puts it in your clipboard. The advantage being that it doesn't include any of the extra parameters in the URL like playlist etc. You can use it while being in the tab you meant to copy and pressing the button or using the keyboard shortcut (which you must setup first).
