Youtube Categories Extension

Associate youtube channels with a category on the subscription page.

WARNING!
This is only currently for my personal use. If enough people show interest I'll add additional features like allowing filtering by category and adding your own custom categories. I've only released it on the store so I can sync data from this plugin across multiple computers.

Update: This plugin no longer requires the Youtube Subscription Grid plugin.

CYLITM (ID: 000000f0f7090ac0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/14/2020 Due to YouTube removing the option to view what category a video is, this extension is useless. Unless they add it back, doesn't matter. If you want to see what category a video is, click on a video, open up the page source (CTRL+U), then press CTRL+G and type in "Category" and look for the second or third result and right next to it, you will find what category it is. Sure it's some effort but no other way as far as I know.
