Description

I appreciate this extension quite a bit, so thank you for making it!

PROBLEM:

I use https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions as a bookmark, and some channels go Live and show up first in the list. I'd like to hide all YT Streams from my Subscription/Home page

SOLUTION:

A checkbox toggle to hide all Livestreams from the Subscriptions page, whether it's for one particular channel, or all channels.

ALTERNATIVES:

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:

I'd say I dunno, 20% of people on Youtube don't watch streams, but I have no idea.

"SIDE EFFECTS":

I don't think people would mind seeing the simple checkbox.

CONTEXT:
//
Thank you!

Research direction

Start by tracing how the extension handles youtube.com/feed/subscriptions and the YouTube Home page, focusing on where livestream entries are identified or filtered. Done means a user can toggle livestream hiding for the relevant pages, with the requested behavior available for all channels or a particular channel.
