PROBLEM:
I find the random youtubes doodles which i find bad and distracting
image

SOLUTION:
Being able to remove the doodles and replace it by the normal youtube logo (or the improved one if the settings is on)

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
I think it would be good to not change the default behaviour, some people might like the doodles

"SIDE EFFECTS":
It could conflict with the "improved youtube logo", but it should be fine

Thank you!

SHORT Table (Summary)
Problem Youtube Doodles are annoying
Solution Replace doodle by default logo
Scope Not Active by Default
Side effects Conflict with Improved Youtube Logo possible

edit: hi! @OshidaBCF
we can add an option to "hide the logo":
with a sub-option: my replacement: _____
and below that "hide youtube's temporary doodles next to the logo"

based on the attention to details and your previous posts, maybe you would like to walk on my path here for some minutes (or easily several):
https://github.com/code-charity/crowd-fixes code-charity/crowd-fixes#1.
( While conceptionally it is appealing / more of a challenge, to think of a whole category of things that wasn't even implemented just yet. Besides practically we can also argue that on youtube.com about above 1/5th of all time is spent, that people spend on websites. [and about above two thirds on the top20] )

I'm not sure what i am supposed to do from this "post"

it's very interesting but i'm not sure if you're asking me to make a userscript that do what i want and share it here, so then you can just implement it in the "global extension"

yes in other words😀: just a topic to wonder about: we could easily implement this and 1000s of other things for all websites, (with a small team/community to keep the features updated. And even enable all features by default for every user, which get elected by an overwhelming majority/consensus of votes.)

  1. ublock(/adblock) rules, are like an extension-framework and allow a short notation/implementation of many of our features. Including, setting a JS variable, html filtering, CSS/xpath selectors, re-evaluating once an attribute changes (/mutation observer), and more.
  1. While there are ~50? million uBlock users, but only "a few nerds" (let's assume 100000), might just write their own rules (often quick and easy, just for themselves. Or copy them from some posts).
    Yet they should collaborate within the app, and updates should happen quickly for everybody (not manually)
    If they and we pay the effort at all. (Since these rules or features are also what have to be updated whenever the websites change.) (unlike our unique code beyond that, for more complex features.) (And updating our alone for many years is already a Sisyphus-task and i should feel guilty for every delay🥵.)

  2. i drafted crowd-fixes 3 years ago but it only got 11 stars yet.
    2,5 month ago i tried the topic in ublock's reddit and tagged letsblock.it but the reddit topic was deleted.
    (~2 years ago letsblock.it started an extra project/server allowing you to select from a list 30 rule-sets (half of them happen to be for youtube). 1 month ago letsblock.it is closing.)
