Description
⚬ PROBLEM:
There is a feature within the program "Hide Annotations" button. It isn't effective, at this time every time You Tube refreshes, the button becomes active again. It is this that keeps the white bar pop up ad/recommendation to appear/reappear constantly. Definitely needs to be addressed/fixed.
⚬ SOLUTION:
I have absolutely no idea on a coded solution. My talents revolve around finding items that are in need of tweaking, and ideas to offer for improvements. As far as programs that enhance any given websites features for the user, this by far is my favorite to use. I just discovered this whole feature of Github, and at this point no clue as to what I am doing with it, or if there is a specific "Etiquette" to abide by/follow. Keep up the amazing customizations on the ongoing war against the control freaks of Youtube and it's conglomerate media whore Google :-)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Hide Annotations behavior on YouTube, including a page refresh, and inspect the extension's handling of that button and the white recommendation bar. Done means the setting remains active after YouTube refreshes and the bar does not reappear.
