Description
As of now Hide cards option under Appearance > Player removes both:
- A big blocks at the end of a video (which cover half of the content);
- A small button and suggestions at the top-right corner (which don't cover much and sometimes offer useful stuff, such as votes).
And while I want to get rid of the first part, I don't really want to of the second.
Please move the second part under Hide annotations option, as it's more like it, or remove it completely (don't hide at all).

Research direction
Start by locating the Appearance > Player settings for “Hide cards” and “Hide annotations” in the extension code, then trace how each option controls the player overlays. The change is done when Hide cards removes only the large end-of-video blocks and the small top-right button and suggestions remain visible or follow Hide annotations.
