YouTube DeSpoiler Extension

Hides total video length and some other information on YouTube.

This extension is mainly intended for eSports VODs, where the total length of the match, or the time remaining, can be a spoiler by itself.

Features:
- Hides total video length in main player, search results, and suggestions.
- Hides progress bar in main player and search results.
- Hides suggestion titles and thumbnails (hover to reveal).
- Since seeking by progress bar is no longer possible, adds seek buttons to the main player.
> Note that you can still use YouTube's ←, →, J and L shortcuts as normal.
- Toggle the extension by clicking the extension icon.
- Toggle the progress bar for current video only by clicking the hourglass button in main player.

Grant Smith (ID: 0000001d2f8d12ef) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/03/2021 Please add an option to make this apply only to videos from specific channels. For example, "AfreecaTV eSports" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK5eBtuoj_HkdXKHNmBLAXg. Also it would be nice if there was an option to toggle whether or not recommended videos in the sidebar get blacked out. And if the blackout could be applied to videos in your subscriptions and only to blacklisted channels. I was subscribed to StarCast TV and their ASL VODs have been getting uploaded way faster than the Tastosis VODs. Yesterday they uploaded the 3rd place match before I had seen any of the Ro4 VODs from Tastosis, so the thumbnail showing the 3rd place match players spoiled the results for Ro4. I actually unsubscribed from StarCastTV over that, but I really don't want to have to unsubscribe from them since they have so much other good content. If you could add those features this extension would be perfect and I would rate it 5 stars and never turn it off. Without those features though, I don't know if I will continue using it.
