great extension really like it <3

Downloaded it. Worked out how to open it in the extension. Pulled across a few sliders and my YouTube addiction instantly gone! Can't thank you enough for helping me get my life back. Highly recommend. Found out about this on "quitting your youtube addiction is easy, actually".

Big fan. One nitpicking note, and not sure who's at fault, but the combo of UnTrap and PocketTube messes with the space to the right of the subscription table of video items. From what I can tell, the calculated margins from the combined css are off. For example, a row meant for 5 video items will only have room for a little over 4, but not enough for 5. So, this wraps the 5th video to the next row leaving a bunch of wasted space to the right of each row all the way down the page. Thanks!
