Description
Problem
On YouTube search results pages, a Watch Again shelf appears showing videos the user has previously watched. This duplicates content the user has already seen and pushes actual search results further down.
Solution
Add a toggle in ImprovedTube to remove the Watch Again section from YouTube search results.
Implementation
CSS/JS selector targeting the shelf renderer that displays Watch Again content. Follow the existing pattern in the codebase for removing related search results.
Scope
Filtering and Discovery of Content
Parent
Split from #957 (was: Remove useless search results). This is the Watch Again removal component.
