ME HAS SALAVADO DE VER MUCHA MIIIIIeerr .... GRACIAS !!!

by Dalto, 2024-04-23

Worked amazing for a while! Helped me focus on my Watch Later playlist and bring it down without tempting me to add more videos... for a while. Now youtube updated the site and the add-on doesn't work -3- But I'm still rating 5 stars as I have full hope that the author will update and the add-on is amazing when it works! Edit: THEY UPDATED IT! HUZZAH!
