## Description

YouTube's algorithm prioritizes engagement and watch time. This creates a feed saturated with clickbait, outrage content, and chronologically confusing Subscription tabs.

YtAlgoRebel is an open-source browser extension that solves this by:
<ul><li>Never using official YouTube APIs: We avoid restrictive quotas by intercepting internal YouTube traffic natively.</li><li>100% Local AI: Your data stays yours. We calculate your "Taste Matrix" and rank videos using WebAssembly (transformers.js) or your local Ollama instance. No remote cloud processing.</li><li>The Anti-Clickbait Engine: Our Cosine Similarity reranker aggressively identifies and penalizes typical clickbait syntax and semantics.</li></ul>
