Hide the Watch Later button on the Embedded YouTube player

Can you add an option to Hide 'Watch Later' which also appears in the top right-hand corner?

Hi! @leryeo easy /quick to implement! (did you try to hide the embedded player's share button already?)

Yes, I already hide 'Share'. I mainly want to hide 'Share' and 'Watch later' as my preferred playback speed control extension needs to use the top right-hand corner in full screen mode to control playback speed. At the moment I can sometimes accidentally click watch later when trying to increase the playback speed of the video.

Was searching for this function across different extensions, but there was none XD

Came up with imo a better solution. Use uBlock Origin and add below line to My filters: ~www.youtube.com##.ytp-watch-later-icon //does not work for embedded videos~ www.youtube.com##.ytp-watch-later-button
