To function properly, the script requires enabling Developer Mode for your userscript extension.

The script runs locally in your browser with no network requests, tracking, or data collection.

If you already use userscripts, open this link to install the userscript.

After installation, go to a YouTube video and press V.
On the default watch page, you can also middle-click the video to toggle the drawer.
