Research direction

The extension's content scripts and background service worker likely interact with YouTube's page. Start by profiling the extension's performance impact using browser developer tools. Examine the manifest.json for permissions and content scripts, then review the main JavaScript files that modify page behavior. Look for inefficient selectors, event listeners, or resource-intensive operations that could cause slowdowns or crashes.
