Extension Metadata

About this extension
YouTube recently changed its video player to intercept trackpad pinch-to-zoom gestures, zooming into the video instead of the page. This is unintuitive and breaks the expected browser behavior that works on every other website.
This extension intercepts the gesture before YouTube's player can grab it, restoring the standard browser zoom behavior on youtube.com.
