hi! you can disable them (you just didnt find the 3 toggles). You can go to "player" or: "appearance: details", or just type 'screenshot' after opening the extension. You are the first user asking. (maybe because YouTube is changing and having occupied the space differently is rare). We now have a copy of the buttons in the player settings again to make I added them there again for you now. Our project is a sisyphos-task (uphill race) since 11 years as work /youtube updates never ended. There are few extensions as ambitious as this. The rating system doesn't really cover this. (So we should have more than 5 stars & 3 stars is bad). if we ever get funded, we can finally hire a few people and develop several times faster. PocketTube is 5(?) years old but managed to get 2000 paid subscriptions it seems. And if you will, the buttons by default, next to usually being appreciated, can serve as a reminder to new users that we exist. If they don't care to find the toggle they are free to uninstall. Unfortunately right now the buttons don't appear in the activated features list currently, which shows not-final work. Subject to change. Please join us on Github if you have any ideas.
