100+ extra tweaks to come without programming - let's name/tag & test them #4143

Description

@ImprovedTube2

YouTube has over 1274 "experiment flags"

  • Please help us name and tag them, so that we can make these available on two new / automated lists:

1. My Trashbin (disabled stuff) 2. My Tweaks ( voluntarily enabled or modified YouTube experiments)

  • both lists filtered by what youtube gave you. So each list shows one half
  • and we can order each list by how frequently they are set by anybody.
    • so we need to collect statistics about our settings
  • and we can count(/notify) about new additions by YouTube (if they are interesting, frequently changed enough already)
    • so we need to get a little stream of these Experiment Flags. Maybe from random users (or only opt-in).
      • then we can also even just see what is the default i.e. 99 % true. And for number-values: What range is set by youtube, and what average. (Suggestion what inputs we might provide as a slider.)

  • As of now YouTube might gives your account several more, which are not on the list.
    - You can add them to the spreadsheet, through: devTools (F12 key) while on youtube and entering yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS into the console (prompt: ">")

Long-term structure/vision for our UI:

  1. my content & discovery logic

  2. my setup:
    a) general Video Features (+specific tweaking, like Youtube's Experiment Flags added/enabled by the user).
    b) Cleaning/Trashbin (Up to 100s of CSS rules, JS variables, uBlock rules. (including disabled Youtube's Experiment Flags) (Ideally/hopefully set&forget)
    c) Minimap/Layout (more sections, maybe Drag&drop for Sizes, Positions & css selector and paint bucket tools for colors?)

( #848 (comment), #890 (comment) )

while extra exceptions/conditions like video genre could be set for many features on right click.
and shortcuts or buttons to toggle any experiment flag or anything could be setup with right click too.


Duplicate of #2251 (as of #3804)
