Description
Problem
YouTube search results include a For You section with personalized recommendations. These are often irrelevant to the current search query and clutter the results page.
Solution
Add a toggle in ImprovedTube to remove the For You section from YouTube search results.
Implementation
CSS/JS selector targeting the shelf renderer containing For You recommendations. Follow the existing pattern for removing related search results.
Scope
Filtering and Discovery of Content
Parent
Split from #957 (was: Remove useless search results). This is the For You removal component.
