Description

YouTube EXPERIMENT_FLAGS Tamer is a powerful user script designed to optimize your YouTube experience by adjusting various EXPERIMENT_FLAGS. These EXPERIMENT_FLAGS control experimental features and settings on YouTube, and this script allows you to customize them according to your preferences.

Functions and Features
