Description
YouTube keeps saying they're going to fix their stupid site, but we all know they won't. It's currently impossible to disable "Video previews" in a way that actually sticks, so I'm BEGGING for an option to do exactly this!
This is the YouTube setting that doesn't stay off:

Research direction
Start by locating the existing handling for YouTube's "Video previews" setting and the extension's user-option entry points. Confirm how settings are persisted, then verify that the new option keeps previews disabled after YouTube changes the setting or the extension is restarted.
