### Problem Description

I would appreciate the ability to disable options in the kebab menu (or anywhere else for that matter) that take you to the youtube website. As it stands you are just one misclick away from sending your private data to Google.
A simple toggle switch in the Privacy Settings or Distraction Free Settings tab would solve this issue.

BTW the ability to hide videos and channels REALLY needs to be included in the kebab menu. That would be a massive improvement. Though this has already been suggested so I'm not making this a separate issue, but I did want to mention it.

### Proposed Solution

Include a toggle switch in one of the settings tabs that disables options in the kebab menu (or anywhere else for that matter) that link directly to youtube.

### Alternatives Considered

The ability to customize the entire kebab menu and include what you do or do not want to appear in it.
