Description

PROBLEM: Youtube Search Bar has an "Ask AI button"

SOLUTION: Would it be possible to have an ability to revert this back to an original search bar?

ALTERNATIVES: Ublock Origin element zapper can force the "ask AI" button to go away, but it returns upon reload

RELEVANCE / SCOPE: While some people may enjoy the AI features, I believe this could be a very useful feature for those who do not (I'm not quite sure on the percentage, but my guess is that people who are downloading this extension might make use of this feature)

"SIDE EFFECTS": I do not believe there would be significant side effects

Research direction

Start by reproducing the YouTube search bar with the Ask AI button enabled, then locate the extension code that handles YouTube search-bar elements. The change is done when the button is consistently hidden after reload while the original search bar remains usable; test this across relevant YouTube page loads.
