📝 Pull Request Description
This PR implements the feature requested in #2901 — to allow users to hide the new AI-generated summary that appears below the YouTube video player, between the description and the comments.
✔️ Summary of Changes
Settings Toggle:
-->Added a new user-facing option Hide AI summary below player to the General section of the extension settings.
-->The setting is labeled hide_ai_summary and is fully localized (_locales/en/messages.json).
Hiding Logic via CSS and JavaScript:
--> A CSS rule was added in both styles.css and general.css targeting the AI summary container ([target-id*="description"]).
-->This rule hides the section when the root element has the attribute it-hide-ai-summary="true".
--.A feature handler (extension.features.hideAISummary) was created to read the setting and toggle this attribute accordingly.
Initialization and Messaging:
-->init.js calls hideAISummary() on every YouTube page load to apply the setting instantly.
-->The background script listens for changes to the setting and messages all active YouTube tabs.
-->The content script responds by re-running the feature logic, applying the change dynamically without a page reload.
Future-Proofing & Performance:
-->Used a flexible CSS selector ([target-id*="description"]) to handle potential changes in YouTube’s DOM structure.
-->Messaging is limited to YouTube tabs only for efficiency.
-->Basic error handling added to ensure stable message passing.
🎯 Why This Solves the Issue
The changes directly implement the request in #2901 by:
-->Providing a clear toggle option for users
-->Hiding the AI summary panel only when enabled
This gives users the exact control they asked for — to remove the AI summary section if they don’t want to see it.
