Update from the dev:

> Unfortunately the extension requires quite a large database (~15TB) - and it costs money.

> The ad\changelog was supposed to show only on browser restart - i.e. be much less intrusive

> The idea behind paid features was also to cover the costs (since donations became smaller than the hosting costs).

> I messed up with implementation though.

> Sorry.

I do feel for the developer, and I am not anti asking for donations, and the full page pop up on browser restart I don't think is terrible, but it would have been better to maybe have a changelog and have a donation button. The ads injected directly into youtube make me lose a lot of trust
