Amazing YouTube for Chrome Extension

# Amazing YouTube for Chrome

This extension simplifies YouTube's user interface by removing various components that I consider to be eyesores and useless while also adding additional nice-to-have functionalities using CSS. Works with YouTube's latest UI (signed in) as of the most recent update date.

## List of UI Elements Removed

### Across YouTube

- Scrollbar
- Shorts, Originals, YouTube Music, Your clips, and Your videos buttons from the sidebar
- Subscriptions, More from YouTube sections from the sidebar
- Voice search and create button from the header

### Home page

- Suggested filters below the header
- All shelves in home page suggestions (Shorts, etc.)

### Watch page

- Annotation
- Suggested filters above the up next column
- Text labels from buttons in the video details section, more flexible items that were usually hidden will now have space to show up
- Clip and super thanks buttons removed from video details section

## List of UI Elements Added

- Picture-in-picture button on video player (which YouTube has built-in but is hidden)
