This add-on would be good... if it actually would modify the video loader. The new video loader with huge buttons looks weird with the old YouTube UI. Other than, everything else seems to work fine.

This addon modifies a lot of things on Youtube's pages, but I only consider one of those changes a good thing. The others are odd, or even bad.

First the positive one: it allows you to view more thumbnails on the mainpage. That's great!

However, along with that singular positive thing, comes a lot of questionable ones. For example, the default settings make everything about the page layouts look older, less modern, even ugly. Why is that? And even though you can disable some of these changes, there are things that it messes up permanently. Like the latest Youtube posts. They get truncated to just a few words each, and there is no option to change that behaviour. Also, playlist thumbnails are unaffected (= remain huge) despite everything else shrinking. The layouts just become erratic and mismatched.

I would not recommend this addon. If you just want to see more video thumbnails on Youtube's main page, there are better ways to achieve that.

The community posts have cyclinder boxes (not sqaure) and the icon that shows someone (or a channel) that there live is circular, 5 stars to fix ;)

"Sort playlist by" feature is missing. Was removed sometime in 2024. You also can't see when a playlist was created anymore

It works as intended, sort of - if you haven't had to suffer the re-design (which I hadn't up until this extension) and just want some of the features (for me, the return of the "up next" in the top right), the extension forces you into a re-design anyway, even with every single feature disabled. It works well enough, apart from the visuals, but I'm kinda bummed that there's no re-design opt-out for this extension. I was hoping this would let me get that autoplay thing back without having to accept the redesign, but like many other users I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually :)

Liked it, however enabling "extra layout changes" adds some CSS coloring with !important that I don't like, and which happen to override the CSS I added in Stylebot. If there were an OLED option, forcing a true black background around most elements I would be fine. Granted, I'll take this minor inconvienence over seeing the atrocious youtube shorts and now unnecessary games the website is hosting...

Nearly everything about it works like a charm, however the layout of video recs & the comment section is still the current layout.

Not sure whats causing it but its still annoying. :(

needs to be updated, as far as I can tell there is no way to switch back to the classic layout (youtube recently added a new layout which sucks)

Fixes the homepage but doesn't change the sub box layout. Also with this installed, I don't get the little 3 dots on the side of the video to be able to set it in Watch Later or to tell YouTube I don't want to be recommended the video/youtuber. 5 stars if both those issues are fixed.

Redux can't get rid of Youtube's newest UI disaster yet.

Generally a very useful extension. Unfortunately, however, there is no way to restore the old arrangement of the video title and comments below the video instead of to the right.

It's fine, there's a bunch of options that allow you to customize youtube, but I installed it to get rid of awful new layout and it didn't work, so 3 stars from me.

It's pretty however it's CPU intensive.

Really good at replicating old youtube but it is near-unuseable with how laggy it makes it. I cannot run this extension properly, and I only got it for the "sort by oldest" feature

Used to be working until recently where on videos page, the view count and published date do not show up, with the UI elements all over the place

I got this hoping to undo the recent changes to how the subscription page is laid out, unfortunately that seems to be the one page this add on doesn't work on. It'd be an easy five stars if it did.

Ironically, some of the things listed to be fixed with update V3.1.0 that I just got on Firefox are broken now, some of which weren't broken before:
1. "fixed subscribe button from being displayed incorrectly" - no idea what that means, but now it's white text on white ground ... genius
2. "fixed an issue with thumbnails scaling in channel pages" - still broken as it has been forever, keeps randomly switching between 2 and 3 thumbnail columns when there's plenty room for 4 (constant viewport size)
3. "fixed precise dislikes count not working" - ok but the video dislike button is still miscolored anyway, it's always been white instead of gray when it should only be white after a dislike (comment like/dislike buttons are even both generally white instead of gray)

At least the sort by "Oldest" button is finally back, so that's a big W!

Update 2023-06-06:
OH MY GOD now even the previously at least still usable subscription feed is suddenly down from 4 to 2 columns and looks abominable! PLEASE stop screwing up what has been working before ... STOP ... JUST STOP

Great but I wish that there was an option to keep youtube shorts on the home page. I get why people hate them, a large chunk of them are awful but my algorithm is fine tuned to only show me animal videos. It was pretty strong so it'll suck to lose them forever.

Lovely addon, sadly it doesn't work that well on the lastest youtube shennanigens. Now there's an ekstra scrollbar with this addon active, what a shame.

Unfortunately seems to have an issue with memory leaks, since installing the add-on firefox routinely reaches 5gb+ RAM usage after a few hours, even without actively using it or having a video open.. initially noticed it after checking task manager following performance issues only to see firefox using over 20gb of RAM

Otherwise a great add-on, making youtube infinitely more usable, while being quite customizable.
Only an option to fully collapse the sidebar in general, not just on the homepage would be nice

Ужасно работает после обновления youtube

Not working correct anymore...

Still awesome years later, love the regular updates, thanks!

Found some problems, with the player elements not showing correctly in cinema mode. Like video timer and subtitles not showing. And video progress bar and other elements not resizing correctly when switching between view modes. I'm fairly sure this is caused by 1440p resolution since when I move Firefox to my 1080p monitor and refresh the page, elements work fine.

19/4 Now cinema mode is totally broken, video goes over the borders, like it's trying to show it fullscreen.
