Changes
✔️ Search in the extension ✓ Menu suits Touch (more space) ✓ Legacy List style
➕ Thumbnails .gif animation: OFF,  Thumbnails: HD 
➕ draggable ImprovedTube icon on YouTube
✓ Mini Player scrolling 
➕ Channel home page: "featured content" (vs channel intro trailer)

Compatiblity:  You CAN just try what you need (i.e. sponsorblock / or an extra adblocker / adskipper (most YT Extensions work with one permission  "access YT"), yet with this extension, you don't lack features for YT (and some copy our code)  (And you dont need to accept 'alerts', 'change privacy settings', 'browser history')
