…deletion Google My Activity pops a modal feedback/survey dialog mid-run (typically after the first couple of deletions). Being modal, it blocks the next delete click and stalls the loop. Dismiss it at the top of each iteration by clicking its "Close this dialog" button when present.
…videos Apply the same modal feedback/survey dialog dismissal to the liked-videos unlike loop as a safeguard against the Google-wide feedback widget.

Problem
When bulk-deleting YouTube comments on Google My Activity, a modal feedback/survey dialog pops up mid-run (typically right after the first couple of deletions). Because it's modal, it sits on top of the page and blocks the next delete click, so the deletion loop stalls until the user manually clicks it away.
Fix
Auto-dismiss the banner at the top of each deletion iteration — the idle point between comments, which is exactly when it appears. A new
dismissSurveyBanner()helper clicks the dialog'sbutton[aria-label="Close this dialog"]when it's present (with a bounding-box visibility check, since it's a fixed-position element).It's scoped to that specific banner and only runs when no delete-confirmation dialog is open, so it can't interfere with the actual deletion flow (which targets
div[role="button"][data-id="EBS5u"]/span.Crf1o).Affects
