Green Button UI

Moved panel offset to the left to better view other page elements

Added

Added a restore recent search history feature to yt-fixes.js

-- Sometimes, the recent search history can be blank

-- Fix detects when the search history is empty, and looks for the recent search data in local storage and injects it back in

-- Fix only runs once on startup the first time you visit the search page, and caches it for the rest of the session

-- Might not work if the actual local storage key was deleted / doesn't exist (I don't know why that can happen but it does, another YouTube bug)

Bug Fixes

Fixed SponsorBlock segments not appearing on ytlr-multi-markers-player-bar-renderer on the old UI (was only looking for [idomkey="slider"] (new UI selector) instead of [idomkey="progress-bar"]) (old UI selector)

Jump to highlight now works at any point in the video

Performance & Efficiency

Debounced Observers: Switched from checking every single added node to a throttled approach that waits for DOM activity to settle, significantly reducing CPU load.

Batch Styling: Replaced individual style property updates with batch CSS application to reduce browser reflows and layout thrashing.

Optimized Loops: Replaced slower iterators with standard loops for faster execution on embedded processors.

Stability & Fixes

Race Condition Prevention: Added active state checks to asynchronous callbacks, preventing errors if the user navigates away while data is loading.

Robust Navigation: Replaced fragile manual string parsing with the standard URL API to reliably handle hash changes and parameters.

Memory Safety: Improved cleanup logic to ensure observers and timers are strictly destroyed to prevent memory leaks.

Code Quality

Centralized Selectors: Moved hardcoded class names into a single configuration object for easier maintenance and updates.

Memory Optimization: Implemented method binding in the constructor to reuse function references rather than creating new instances on every execution.

adblock.js

Performance & Efficiency

Unified JSON Interceptor: Merged shorts.js logic into adblock.js to eliminate double-wrapping of JSON.parse, reducing interception overhead by 50%.

Removed Recursive Scanning: Replaced the expensive O(N) recursive search (findFirstObject) with O(1) direct path lookups for Shorts removal.

Fail-Fast Logic: Implemented early exit checks to skip processing on non-relevant API responses, significantly reducing CPU usage on the main thread.

Memory Efficiency: Switched to in-place array mutation for filtering content, reducing garbage collection pressure and memory spikes.
