Creating Icons

The manifest references three icon files that need to be created:

• icon16.png (16x16 pixels)
• icon48.png (48x48 pixels)
• icon128.png (128x128 pixels)

You can create these using any image editor or online icon generator. Suggested icon: a star or trophy emoji.

Troubleshooting

Stats aren't being replaced

1. Make sure the extension is enabled in chrome://extensions/
2. Check that "Enable Fake Stats" is toggled on in the popup
3. Make sure you've entered values for the stats you want to replace
4. Try refreshing the YouTube Studio page
5. Open the browser console (F12) and check for any error messages

YouTube changed their layout

YouTube Studio occasionally updates its design. If stats stop being replaced:

1. Open content.js
2. Look for the STAT_SELECTORS array near the top
3. Update the CSS selectors to match YouTube's new structure
4. You can use Chrome DevTools to inspect elements and find new selectors

• Local storage only: Settings are stored locally using Chrome's storage API
• Minimal permissions: Only requests access to YouTube Studio and local storage
• Open source: All code is visible and can be audited

Technical Details

• Manifest Version: V3 (latest Chrome extension standard)
• Permissions: storage, activeTab, scripting, and host permission for studio.youtube.com
• Content Script: Runs on all studio.youtube.com pages
• DOM Manipulation: Uses MutationObserver to detect and update dynamic content

Limitations

• Only works on YouTube Studio (studio.youtube.com)
