Greasy Fork

Added hideSponsorButton: true option
Added CSS selectors to hide the sponsor button:

#sponsor-button (direct ID targeting)
ytd-video-owner-renderer #sponsor-button (scoped targeting)
timed-animation-button-renderer (component targeting)
button[aria-label="Subscribe Plus"] (button-specific targeting)


Added mobile support with ytm- selectors

Usage:
Users can control the sponsor button by setting:
javascripthideSponsorButton: false, // Set to false to show the sponsor button
The sponsor button (Subscribe Plus) will now be hidden by default, along with the Thanks and Clip buttons.

Version 28-31 Changelog:

Added options to hide Thanks and Clip buttons (hideThanksButton, hideClipButton)
Enhanced audio track control to prevent automatic language switching
Blocks YouTube's audio track switching methods (setAudioTrack, selectAudioTrack, changeAudioTrack)
Hides audio track selector UI elements
Removed verbose console logging for cleaner operation
Improved CSS targeting for better element hiding across YouTube UI updates

Version 28 Changelog:
Added aggressive multi-audio track blocking to prevent YouTube from automatically switching languages during AirPlay and regular playback. The script now intercepts network requests to only load the original audio track, overrides browser APIs to block track switching, and continuously monitors to force videos back to the original language. Also hides YouTube's audio track selector UI to prevent manual switching. This resolves the common issue where YouTube randomly switches to foreign language audio tracks when streaming via AirPlay or during normal viewing.
