About this extension

This addon is aimed to fix the issue that YT will automatically enforce "translated" video names upon the end user, based on their interface language, which results in generally worse quality of titles since by definition it can't be better than native speaker writing it (+ generally I'm not going to watch videos in unknown language if they have a weird title anyway)

The following page parts are covered:
(1) Tab name
(2) Currently watched video title
(3) Titles in video suggestions
(4) Titles in the front page (feed)

The following parts are NOT covered:
(5) Mini-player mode (mostly because there isn't a straightforward way to extract the video ID from the mini-player interface)
(6) Shorts (may be added later)

Also, was NOT tested with their mobile version markup.

If YT changes their website in a way that this addon stops working and I didn't notice, please create an issue at GitHub: https://github.com/jewalky/yt-no-title-translate/issues

Release notes for 1.2

Fixed in 1.2: when it's not possible to retrieve the video's name via OEmbed (this happens for videos that disallow embedding), the title will revert to whatever YouTube thinks it should be, instead of staying "..."
