Summary
Analyze keywords

NOTE: this extension will disable a few features (such as fullscreen) on the video player and you may find some videos are unable to be played due to copyright but hey it's better than wasting your time by sitting through ads

NOTE 2: this wont do anything unless you get the adblock block which disables video playback

NOTE 3: i cannot guarantee that this extension will be completely compatible with other extensions. as well as this, i advise that you use ublock origin along with this extension. if the video does not show up, try refreshing.

this extension gets the video url and changes it to an embed, since video embeds dont get the adblocker message thing

enjoy :>
