Made a tiny extension to restore full-page pinch-zoom on YouTube after their recent update

Niche issue, but posting in case anyone else is bothered. YouTube recently shipped an update that intercepts trackpad pinch gestures on the video player and applies its own zoom instead of letting the browser do native page zoom. This means pinching only zooms the video, not the page.

I've mad an extension that restores the original full page zoom functionality. It's open source, no permissions beyond a content script on *.youtube.com, no tracking. Code is ~10 lines.
