No just No (ID: 000000c34a1f61f1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/13/2023 thanks! the extension is more of an auto clicker than a magic button that select all and delete the hole playlist and it took about 3 mins to delete them all but it worked so I am not complaining the real annoying thing is that this extension needed to be added in the first place. anyway thanks for your hard work
