This is a Userscript to fix the issues that YouTube native coding does not release the IndexedDBs after using, and disable the experimental WebLock which is useless for YouTube application.

This prevents Tab Discard feature introduced in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
After installing this, the background tabs can be able to sleep to save resources.

Please wait 1 minute to see the unlocking!
