Yt-emb: Quick & Simple Youtube Embedding Extension

Replaces a blocked Youtube video with an embedded version of itself. Circumventing Youtube's new adblock policies!

Features:
- Ctrl+Shift+Up to replace current video as a regular embed
- Ctrl+Shift+Down to replace current video as a no-cookie embed

Future Features:
- A utility window when clicking on the extension to edit settings and features easier
- More shortcuts/tools to help navigate and browse Youtube easier (e.g. creating my own theatre mode, etc.)

Known Bugs/Issues:
- Don't use it with playlists, replacing an adblocked video with an embed will still play through the playlist as if it were still blocked
- You can watch a video as a no-cookie but you cannot fullscreen it as it lacks iframe support. You will most likely not be needing the no-cookie option anyways though, but I'll keep it for the sake of consistency

*Some videos may not work with the regular embed, use no-cookie version instead
*If the no-cookie embedded video is unavailable, refresh until it is
*If it still doesn't work then oh well, this method is not full proof
