Good addon but it's a pain for me to use Youtube. In about:addons under options I can only select "moderate". Is there another way to lower Youtube's strictness? I saw at the github's site within the wiki that you can edit the json file. And I did. But I can't seem to follow from there. Can you help me? What are the next steps if I don't have Linux? Or is it not possible to do this on Windows? I tried zipping the folder, renaming it to xpi and injecting it with Nightly by also removing something in about:config about addons being signed, but it didn't work cause it said the file was corrupt. Thank you for your time.
