Research direction
Check if the project already has an extension for streaming sites in the 'alternates' or 'extensions' folder. If not, compile a list of common streaming domains (YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc.) and create a new hosts file following the project's format. Look at the issue comments for any prior discussion or suggested lists.
