## Features
- ***Shorts To Video* Button** - adds a button to the shorts page that allows you to watch the short as a standard video.
- **Auto Loop Video** - sets the loop property of the video after clicking the *shorts to video* button.
- **Shorts UI Tweaks** - some UI improvements for the shorts page, especially for vertical screens.
- **Hide Sponsored Shorts** - hides sponsored shorts from the shorts page.
- **Hide Masthead Ads** - hides the *masthead ads* on the homepage.
- **Hide In-Feed Ads** - hides *in-feed ads* (except for homepage, because it would break the layout).
- **Hide Player Ads** - hides *player ads* on the watch page.
- **Auto Skip Ads** - [deprecated] automatically skips ads when they appear on a video. You can use the [uBlock Origin][ublock-origin] extension instead.
- **Remove AdBlock error message** - [deprecated] removes the error message that appears when an ad blocker is detected.
