Fixes #3267 - Duplicate player buttons appearing when navigating between videos
Changes Made
Technical Details
The issue occurred because
section.querySelector('.improvedtube-player-button')only searched within the sectionelement. When YouTube's SPA recreated the section during navigation, the old buttons persisted outside the new
section, causing duplicates.
Solution: Check for existing buttons at the document level using unique IDs instead of class-based section
queries.
