Change Log
[v3.4] 9/4/21:  Updated setup instructions to be more explicit and clear

2) I had to remove the default key due to security concerns. You now have to create a key to use the application.

1) Sorry for the inconvenience but YouTube has removed the category label in video descriptions so the extension does not work anymore automatically.
I have updated the application to get the category another way but you will have to set up your own data key in google. It should only take 5-10 minutes to create your own key from the instructions.
Thank you
