🔧 Fixed
Members-only videos no longer being detected and hidden — caused by YouTube's UI overhaul in May 2025 which replaced the old badge system with a new badge-shape element inside yt-lockup-view-model components. The extension now targets both old (ytd-badge-supported-renderer, .badge-style-type-members-only) and new (badge-shape, .yt-badge-shape--type-members-only) badge structures.
Videos in the new lockup-based layout were not being hidden even when a badge was detected — fixed by correctly walking up the DOM from the badge to the nearest video container, then further up to ytd-rich-item-renderer if present, ensuring the whole card is hidden rather than just an inner element.
Some new UI variants don't render a badge element at all and instead surface "Members only" text only within the video metadata row — added a secondary scan of yt-lockup-view-model metadata containers as a fallback detection strategy.
🌐 Improved
All chrome. API calls replaced with browser. for consistency with the manifest and background.js (Firefox WebExtensions API).
Multi-language detection fully preserved — all badge text variants across YouTube's supported languages remain in the detection set.Source code released under MIT License
