Quick-Copy YouTube Transcripts

Adds a Copy Transcript button right beside the Like/Dislike buttons.

What the button does

  1. Pops open the video description if it’s still hiding.
  2. Clicks Show transcript for you.
  3. Waits until YouTube finishes loading every timestamped line (max ~10 sec).
  4. Copies all the text and timestamps to your clipboard.
  5. Pops up a little heads-up toast so you know it worked (or if there was an error).

Let me know if anything's not working I'll get to fixing it as soon as possible.
