About RedBar

Have you ever looked at YouTube's new weird pink progress bar gradient and thought, "thanks, I hate it?" Yeah, me too. This extension is literally just a single CSS rule to make the progress bar red. That's it. No funky permissions, no signup, no accessing your personal info or user data. Just a red progress bar.
