About YouTube Latest Default

A recent YouTube update has added the "For you" sorting option to videos and shorts. Are you annoyed that by default, the "For you" option is selected, rather than "Latest"? Quite understandable! When enabled, this extension automatically changes the sorting option of videos and shorts to "Latest". That's it.
