Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tubearchivist/browser-extension/issues/15

When signed into a Youtube/Google account, the subscribe and download button isnt injected.

This is how it appears when logged into a Google/Youtube Account.

This is how the same page appears after logging out of Google/Youtube Account.

Something must obviously be different. What browser are you using? I am using Firefox v108.0.2. The Youtube layout seems to change to the "new layout" when not signed in, but after signing in it reverts to some older layout.

Looks like you didn't get the new layout, so the CSS selectors wont work to inject the buttons.

Not quite sure how you can force your browser to update, some google search suggest to edit the PREF cookie value. For me that's set to something like that:

f4=4000000&tz=my.timezone&f5=30000&f7=140&f6=40000000

Some suggest that f6 is the relevant value, but who knows what it means, but you could try to tinker with that.

But all in all, this extension only works in the new layout.

Seems that Google has blessed me with the new layout and the buttons are now visible.
