YT2026: Clean YouTube App Interface

Adds quick "Not interested" icon button directly on YouTube video cards. The "Don't recommend channel" button is hidden by default; set SHOW_DONT_RECOMMEND to true in the code to enable it. Share feedback/suggestions/edits with me on Tweeks Discord (Reaver)

Adds YouTube header navigation/PiP buttons and lets Alt+P toggle Picture-in-Picture on watch pages

Removes YouTube Shorts, promotional feed modules, community/survey clutter, paid-content overlays, and unwanted sidebar entries while providing an Alt+M/menu toggle to temporarily restore the default sidebar.

Hides suggested videos in theater/mobile mode, removes YouTube notification toasts, adds compact header focus controls, and adds an Alternate Watch Page mode with independently scrolling suggestions/comments, including theater mode. Suggested sidebar thumbnails are extracted into bounded 100%-wide, top-aligned 16:9 image boxes with a subtle bottom fade, black title/details bar, and restored YouTube hover video previews. Alt+T toggles compact mode; Alt+V toggles Alternate Watch Page; Alt+C toggle
