1120+ extra tweaks to come! Please help us name (/tag) them in advance

[ImprovedTube]

YouTube has over 1060 "experiment flags"

• Please help us name and tag them, so that we can make these available on two new / automated lists:
  

1. My Trashbin (disabled stuff) 2. My Tweaks ( voluntarily enabled or modified YouTube experiments)

• both lists filtered by what youtube gave you. So each list shows one half
• and we can order each list by how frequently they are set by anybody.
  • so we need to collect statistics about our settings
• and we can count(/notify) about new additions by YouTube (if they are interesting, frequently changed enough already)
  • so we need to get a little stream of these Experiment Flags. Maybe from random users (or only opt-in).
    • then we can also even just see what is the default i.e. 99 % true. And for number-values: What range is set by youtube, and what average. (Suggestion what inputs we might provide as a slider.)

---

• As of now YouTube might gives your account several more, which are not on the list.
  - You can add them to the spreadsheet, through: devTools (F12 key) while on youtube and entering yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS into the console (prompt: ">")

---

Long-term structure/vision for our UI:

1. my content & discovery logic

2. my~?setup:
   a) (Web-)Video Features (+specific Youtube Tweaking + Youtube's Experiment Flags , those added by the user) ).
   b) Youtube: Cleaning/Trashbin (Up to 100s (including disabled Youtube's Experiment Flags) Ideally needed decreasingly often.)
   c) Youtube Minimap/Layout (more sections, maybe Drag&drop for Sizes, Positions & paint bucket for Colors)

( #848 (reply in thread), #890 (comment) )

while extra exceptions/conditions like video genre could be set for many features on right click.
and shortcuts or buttons to toggle any experiment flag or anything could be setup with right click too.

the way uBO 'set' works is they put a Proxy over object prototypes https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/c154aaa69c6a2a4009d43923f1097c6298062b82/assets/resources/scriptlets.js#L556-L586 they even hide proxy presence so YT cant detect it (afaik YT doesnt try, but plenty of shady websites try to detect adblock/overrides) https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/c154aaa69c6a2a4009d43923f1097c6298062b82/assets/resources/scriptlets.js#L578-L580

This way no matter what inside real yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.kevlar_watch_grid any reader will always receive overridden value. We can definitely implement this, much saner, safer and more reliable than blindly writing to yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.kevlar_watch_grid hoping 1 its there 2 it wasnt read by YT engine yet
