PATCH NOTES
v4.1.2
- Added version number back to popup window
- Reduced gitlab.com permissions thanks to the suggestion of a reviewer!

v4.1.1
- Found an issue with how I was distributing the chrome extension to the chrome store. I was including the entire built repository which contained the node_modules folder. This was causing the extension to go from around 600KB to 50MB+. Sorry for the trouble!

v4.1.0
- Fixed many bugs. Pretty much re-wrote the whole thing to increase functionality and stability
- Built in remote updating config feature. Hopefully this will let us update the html elements remotely.
- Improved the popup UI. NO MORE SAVE BUTTON. Also.. a toggle button.

v3.0.3
- Fixed bug with detecting html attributes in other languages

v3.0.2
- Added Sentry alerting for when errors occur. This should allow me to be aware the extension is failing much faster than before!
- Removed background script as it was not necessary and causing issues.
- Fixed issue with like button not being detected.

v2.4.1
- Resolved issue with Like not being clicked. YouTube changed the html for the like button. See code change.

v2.4
- Version number displays in popup window
- Video will not be liked while ads playing
- Extension tracks time better. This is between soft reloads (autoplay / clicking a new video)
- Extension calculates time video has been played ONLY when it is playing instead of just a timer.
- Video WILL NOT be liked when it is disliked

v2.1
- Checks for Ads before attempting to like the video

v2.0.1
- Bug Fixes

V2.0
- Added new context menu when clicking the extension icon. This will give you a menu with the following options:
- Set Like Delay Timer
- Enable/Disable

Jacob Leoni (ID: 0000005836457cfb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/04/2023 I really like this extension. However, does Youtube recognize the "like" as a normal like or can they tell that it was done automatically? Like maybe they see it as a spam and won't give the content creator credit for the like? Just want to make sure I am supporting the content creators I watch. Thanks!
