    Remarks

    Please install this userscript with Tampermonkey (Edge/Firefox/Chrome/Waterfox) or Violentmoneky (Waterfox Classic).
    Using latest modern browser (Edge/Firefox/Chrome) is encouraged but backward compatible is also available for some browsers like Waterfox Classic.

    At this moment, I have no plan to publish this in Chrome Web Store as I do not have such a time to deal with Chrome Web Store's requirement.
    Please do NOT publish this in Chrome Web Store on behalf of youself.

    The source code and design were orginally inspired by SuperYouTube (Extension for Youtube™), but I have done many coding improvement and design changes for better and faster experience (for example, dark / light theme adaptation). This userscript has NO relationship with SuperYouTube.

    The reason I created this userscript is, I do not like there are so many settings in SuperYouTube and waste my RAM for just watching youtube as a separate extension, and also I feel buggy and slow for SuperYouTube.

    As for performance boost, I imposed many CSS hacks for this userscript to maximize the user experience (contain and content-visibility). Some might make other userscripts or plugins broken. So please let me know and I will try to fix the bugs.
