It's a nice extension. But why is this not open source? It has bugs (that I'd like to fix), but the source isn't available unless you basically reverse engineer their JavaScript, and the license simply says "all rights reserved".

tl;dr: weird license and kinda buggy

---

edit: I want to fix the bugs I've found, but there's no way to do so.

But even more important? I don't like using closed source extensions, especially when they access stuff like my Google account.

It just feels wrong, man.

Anyway, you're right that my response was a little immature; I updated the text to be more clear about what I meant.

Good

Unfortunately, the extension is incompatible with the Dearrow extension, which is VERY unfortunate, since it is one of my favourite YouTube extensions. It is also quite buggy - it often just straight up doesn't load any videos and I am forced to disable the extension. I tried getting help with this problem last year, but I still didn't get a response. One of the only advantages of this extension over YouTube Redux is that it actually does change the video UI.

You did absolutley a great job on this, I only ask a little favor...could you please remove the Breaking news, recommendation, subscription recommended and all stuff like that? Thank you in advance

ps: I usually use Unhook for Firefox, but the two extensions seems to be incompatible

I'm not even kidding, I made a Firefox account just to review this. Never have I enjoyed a Firefox extension so much. First off, for nostalgic purposes, if you grew up watching Youtube as a kid from 2010 to 2013 like I did you should feel right at home. It's nearly an exact copy and actually implements some of the better modern features too. I have been DREAMING of an extension that converts modern Youtube from the crappy pre-2017 redesign to the original. And it's fantastic. Most importantly, PERFORMANCE IS INCREDIBLE. I have no idea how they did it. Performance shot up by at least 50% on my gaming PC, and around 30 to 40% on my old Macbook Pro. It's actually usable on older machines now. No need for Invidious which is hit or miss. The website is snappy now.


We need more extensions like these for major websites. It is incredible. I miss how fast the old web used to be.

If you are looking for a drastic speed increase for Youtube and an (arguably) better layout with some nostalgia, install this. Now. It's amazing. Devs, never stop working on this. You guys are awesome.

Spectacular work!

Absolutely goated add-on. I thought it was nigh impossible, or at least extremely tedious, to do this (and perhaps it was lol).

YouTube's massive redesign in 2017 was severely disappointing and I've been dying to find a functioning add-on for Mozilla that reverts YT back to any of its former UIs.

More than three large thumbnails fit on the homepage at a time, lack of shorts, generally more functional, etc!

Hallelujah!

Oh my god this is so cool i love this so much

it's so nostalgic i love it))) ngl

Where is the “Not interested” button? It is impossible to maintain the flow of recommendations without the option.

This is an absolutely amazing extension/add-on without it I would find navigating YouTube a nightmare! It has a few bugs here and there but it's definitely worth it and it always gets updated!

holy crap please keep going this looks amazing your very talented

unfortunately, this extension makes youtube run VERY slow and it often breaks; ive tried asking for help on the discord server, but i got no response... the userscript version doesnt work any better
also, the extension doesnt work with dearrow and it doesnt work well with sponsorblock
