## Description

YT-Encrypt is a Chrome extension designed for Sparkles viewers who wish to protect their Steam-Tradelinks shared in YouTube comment sections. By enabling RSA-OAEP encryption directly within the comment box, this extension ensures your Steam-Tradelink remains accessible only to Sparkles, preventing potential bots and scammers from accessing your personal links. 

Using YT-Encrypt is straightforward: when watching Sparkles videos, an "Encrypt" button appears in the comment section. Simply paste your Steam-Tradelink and click "Encrypt" to secure the information instantly. Note that occasionally the button may not appear, but refreshing the page typically resolves this issue. YT-Encrypt offers a seamless, privacy-focused tool for safer interactions on YouTube.

## Review summary

Many users find YT-Encrypt useful and capable of encrypting Steam trade links, but multiple reviews report a recurring '#TRADE Error: No Key Found' and inconsistent behavior across accounts. Some fix it by clearing cache/history and restarting, while others cannot resolve it even after reinstalling. Overall, positives about functionality are tempered by reliability issues.

### Pros

- Users report the add-on works and is useful (multiple "very good"/"nice" comments).
- Successfully encrypts Steam trade links for many users when it functions.
- Some users had long periods where it worked reliably ("worked great for quite some time").

### Cons

- Widespread '#TRADE Error: No Key Found' error that blocks encryption.
- Inconsistent behavior across profiles/accounts; the Encrypt button may not appear for some users.
- Troubleshooting (refreshing, restarting, reinstalling) does not resolve the issue for several users.
