ReTrapper for YouTube by GingerBoi

WARNING: I have zero coding capability, I have tried many times to learn but I've never been able to understand it. So with that out of the way I MUST preface that all the ideas for this extension were me alone but that Claude Ai built all the code. Below is a link to the GitHub page. Since starting this extension I've wanted to make sure it stays open source. I refuse to let this extension turn into a certain pay-walled extension (if you know you know).

Below lists all 415 options.
