Rated 3 out of 5
by Jupee, 4 years agoLove the concept! It's already better than normal layout, much more desktop friendly. Needs some work though.
Example dark mode is unusable, some links/texts are not visible, are same color as the background.
And video player default view could be smaller, like it used to be. Currently default view is pretty much same size as theater mode, awful change from Google.
Love the idea, hopefully you keep updating this and making it even better.

posted 4 years agoYep, dark mode is currently not supported. But it's in the backlog, should be there with v0.2.2 (I would say March at the latest). Support for more pages (like the search page) will arrive next month ;-)

It already have a neat watched videos function as your upcoming version mentions - Rated 3 out of 5by jaocb, 4 years agoHalf works and is buggy, Home page scrolls forever with just a list of videos, channel pages dont work either, the video pages and layout is still the new pos. Hopefully everything will be fully working soon and I will come back
- Rated 4 out of 5by Unknown, 4 years agoThis is the only addon that actually works and I really like it. The only thing I have problems with is when I enable the YouTube darkmode.
- Rated 4 out of 5by lightbeam, 4 years agoA very promising addon! I realize that it's still a work in progress so not everything will be 100%. Man is it nostalgic to see YouTube without all the oversized icons again. Unfortunately dark mode seems to have some issues so I'll have to disable for now, but if it gets fixed I'll definitely be using this!
- Rated 5 out of 5by AlinaTsundere!, 4 years agoNice recreation of classic layout!
There are still things to polish but it's very good. - Rated 1 out of 5by Re'soul, 4 years ago

posted 4 years agoI don't know what you're talking about, on my side it works perfectly fine. Perhaps you just didn't allow the extension to run in private mode? See here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/extensions-private-browsing - Rated 1 out of 5by Ярослав, 4 years agoFirefox-53. Не работает совсем. Исчезает V в настройках вашего расширения. Ставил V в 2-х местах. И на панели задач в иконке "Classic YouTube Desing" и в "Управлении Дополнениями" > "Расширения" > "Classic YouTube Desing".
In the settings of this extension, I cannot save the "V" icon in (Activate Classic YouTube Design). The "V" icon disappears when the page is reloaded in the cell (Activate Classic YouTube Design) is empty again. Accordingly, nothing changes on page YouTube.Developer response
posted 4 years agoI think Firefox 53 doesn't support the chrome.storage.sync API yet which is used for storing the settings. But why are you even using such an outdated browser? If it's purely because of the old XUL extensions, I'd recommend Waterfox Classic: https://www.waterfox.net/download#classic. It's based on Firefox 56 and gets all the latest security patches!

Edit: I just fixed a bug which sometimes, especially on slow machines, has overwritten my injected styles with the default YouTube styling again. Now it should work!- Rated 5 out of 5by siffredi1973, 4 years ago
