Amazon XRay Shield Extension

This extension removes the x-ray feature from Amazon Prime Video within 10 seconds of the video starting and keeps it off until the page is refreshed. For those who want to enjoy a video without that annoying popup.

Note that if it does not work, hard refresh your page (control + shift + r) and wait 10 seconds.

If your amazon domain is not in the above list, this extension WILL NOT work for you.

Update 2024-08-23 : Reworked logic for detecting xray node. Now deletes it more reliably.

Update 2024-06-18 : Should now work for countries other than the US.
