Summary
Removed the ?authuser=2&hl=en query parameter from the Chrome Web Store installation link in the README.md.
Why it is needed: The authuser=2 parameter forces the browser to attempt opening the link using the second logged-in Google profile on the user's machine. For users who only have one profile, or who aren't logged in, this can result in a 404 error, a redirect loop, or an unwanted login prompt. Stripping this parameter ensures the link is completely universal and works perfectly for everyone.
Fixes : #43
Testing
Verified the clean URL (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ytm-mini-mode/lpfejlnnjobhdpbhdlmhmmhhmphhbdda) resolves directly to the correct extension page in a fresh/incognito browser window without prompting for specific account authentication.
