* Port dev.sh + release CI from curb; make redirects free dev.sh runs Firefox via web-ext from src/ and Chrome from a dist/chrome/ symlink tree. The two manifests live at different paths, so both browsers can run side-by-side without clobbering each other's manifest.json. Edits in src/ propagate live to both. release.yml builds Chrome + Firefox zips on tag push (v*) and attaches them to a GitHub Release, retiring the manual extension.zip workflow. The four redirect-home options (redirect_to_subs / _to_wl / _to_library / _off) drop the premium flag — they're advertised on the store listings, so it feels right to have them free. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Trim dev section in README to just the commands Cut the rationale paragraphs (symlink trick, manifest clobbering); anyone needing that detail can read dev.sh. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Sync dist/chrome with rsync instead of symlinks Chrome's content-script loader silently rejects scripts whose realpath is outside the extension directory. The popup loaded fine through symlinks but content scripts on YouTube never injected (no Chrome error, just nothing). Real file copies sidestep the realpath check. Trade-off: re-run dev.sh chrome and click reload after edits.

The redirect option silently broke. Fixes #123 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

RYS — Remove YouTube Suggestions
A Browser Extension
What it does
A browser extension that lets you hide recommendations, customize the interface, and take control of your YouTube experience.
Feedback and Support
Leave a review!
Free to use with optional premium features.
Why I made it
YouTube's recommendation algorithm optimizes for the most engaging videos, not the ones you actually want to watch — and it's easy to lose hours to the rabbit hole. This extension lets you cut the noise and use YouTube on your own terms.
