About

When YouTube blocks video playback with "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" or similar restrictions, this extension provides an easy alternative.

• Adds a discreet floating button at the top of each video
• One-click redirect to watch the same video on Invidious (yewtu.be)
• Works with youtube.com, youtube-nocookie.com, and youtu.be embeds
• Privacy-focused: no data collection, all processing happens locally
• Configurable debug logging for troubleshooting

The button appears minimized and slides down on hover to avoid covering video controls. Simply click it to open the video on Invidious in a new tab, bypassing YouTube's restrictions while maintaining access to the content.
