It's entirely functional, no clue what the other guy was talking about.
Tested this with normal, shorts and live videos on both the youtube.com and youtu.be domains.

    It seems to remove most tracking parameters, but there are still occasional videos which have &pp= tracking on them, which is a bit unfortunate, but seems to work better at least than some of the others I've tried as at least most videos have the unnecessary parameters removed.

    Edit: Thanks for updating. After updating to 1.0.1, it seems that the behaviour is similar, but still slightly further improved. Some links on the homepage seem to still contain the &pp= parameters, but I am wondering if this is JS adding these after page load time, so if there would need to be some more aggressive methods to update the page closer to real time. Still, it does seem that there are less videos which have this parameter at a quick glance anyway, so updated review to 4 stars. Looking forward to a future update which is somehow able to remove these completely!

    Thanks for fast reply and quick update!

    Ack, thanks for suggestion. I uploaded 1.0.1 which should also remove pp. It should be available once it's approved. ps. It's available now.

    Could you include some details? I just tried going to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&si=random_tracking_value and it works as intended (ie. it removes si= tracking parameter).
