add keyboard shortcut for summaries

the button moves around depending on the video and it's a lot quicker to use the keyboard instead of the mouse, so would be great to have a keyboard shortcut for the summary function as would save a lot of time

High cpu usage

When this extension is enabled and idle (not using its features), the YouTube tab consumes excessive CPU. Why is this happening? When I disable the extension, I notice a significant decrease in CPU usage on the YouTube tab.

Custom Prompts for Gemini

Hi there,

I'm a big fan of your extension, it works great! I have a suggestion that I believe would make it even more powerful.

The Feature: Custom Gemini Prompts
Could you add a feature that allows sending the video transcript to Gemini along with a user-defined custom prompt?

A great implementation of this can be seen in the "YouTube Summary with ChatGPT & Claude" extension. They have a settings page where users can create and save their own prompts. Then, a button in their UI lets you open Gemini with the transcript and the custom prompt already loaded.

Why It Would Be Useful
This feature would be a huge time-saver for advanced workflows. For example, I use a specific prompt to have Gemini extract all factual statements from a transcript. I then use Gemini's web-browsing capabilities to fact-check those statements.

Automating this with a single click from your extension would be fantastic.

Thanks for considering my feedback and for developing such a useful tool!

Now only shows "Failed to fetch" message

The extension used to work great and really a life saver, however now when tapping the summarise button it only shows "failed to fetch". Anything I did wrong?

Autostart plus doesn't load when not active tab

To save users' time, add an option to have the summary start automatically instead of having to click the summarize button which takes a few seconds to load and then moves around sometimes as other elements of the YouTube page load

Also, I noticed that the summary often doesn't generate unless I have that YouTube tab as active so I tend to have to cycle back to a certain YouTube tab to get the summary to generate. So I'll click the summarize button and then go to a different Chrome tab but the summary generation won't be running in the background unless I make that tab the active one again

New update makes it a lot harder to use copy function

New update freezes the copy and save buttons. You have to stay on the video page and scroll all the way down, while before the update you can click the copy button almost right away. Very annoying for those of who us who prefer to read/listen to the summaries in other apps. Please allow the copy button to be clicked similar to how it was before the update.

summary is not enough

summarizing video is often not enough even if its set to detailed, me and probably others would also often want to ask extra questions on top of summary regarding the video which is not possible now

It no longer appears.

It was working fine before the latest update. I'm on Windows 7 Chrome 109.0.5414.168 (Official Build) (32-bit) . I can't upgrade anything for now.
