Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/YouG-o/YouTube-No-Translation/issues/114

Originally assigned to: @YouG-o on GitHub.

Problem

As a German the icon in my browser reminds me clearly of the flag of the Third Reich (nazis):

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Nazi_Germany

Proposed Solution

Change the icon to something different. Maybe something more like this? https://uxwing.com/language-translator-icon/ It also could use all available space in the height as well.

Additional Context (Optionnal)

Yes, the icon uses red, white, and black — same colors as that flag, sure.
But come on, those are also literally YouTube’s colors. The design is based on YouTube’s logo shape and palette, nothing political or symbolic behind it.

The icon is meant to look like a YouTube-style rectangle, that’s why it doesn’t take the full height. It’s intentional.

Also, the extension currently has around 90k daily users, with about 20% from Germany according to the stats — you’re actually the first person to ever make that kind of remark.

I don’t plan to change the icon, I’m happy with this one, it perfectly describe what the extension does.

If this is really a problem for you and if you're on a Chromium based browser, you can build the edge designed for version (it is basically the same extension, just a different icon (blue instead of red) to comply with microsoft rules (was too close to youtube logo).

Just run

git clone https://github.com/YouG-o/YouTube_No_Translation.git
cd YouTube_No_Translation

npm i 

npm run package:edge

But of course doing so, you will not get automatic updates, you will have to build it again every time you want to update the extension.
