by Garrus-V, 2 days agoIt rolls back to the previous UI as intended, except for the Like/Dislike/Show Comments/Share buttons that are in the lower-right when the video is paused in Full Screen, controls I couldn't care less about and want blown out the airlock NOW.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Spookaburra, 6 hours agoIt ACTUALLY reverts the ugly new video UI back to the way it used to be. That is literally all I needed this for. Good GOSH, I'm getting so sick of having to install a new extension every time YouTube does something...
That being said, I'm also very grateful it's an option available to me, or I probably wouldn't even be on the internet at all any more. Thank you, extension developers, your work is appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that, for some reason, I have to refresh the video page (sometimes more than once) to get the old UI to apply. Not sure why, but it's worth it, and still better than my previous method of "embed the video into a Tumblr post and just watch it in the 'new post' creator". - Rated 5 out of 5by Jaluvshuskies, a day ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by lazyfrenchfries, a month agoThis addon rules, I absolutely love it. I only wish there was an option to hide the new "Jump Ahead" feature.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19472089, a month agoadds a ton of handy toggles, both to remove annoying youtube features, add handy new ones, and in general customize your experience
the addons UI is very concise and makes figuring out all the features easy. Every other addon Dev should take notes.
a big fan of how everything is turn on/off so you can customize what you want to use.
(have not been using the inbuilt adblocker since i use ublock, so i cant rate it) - Rated 5 out of 5by HOME-REB001, a month agoThe best thing internet has. Would be nice, if the next update would help hide auto dubbed channels, but even if it doesn't it is still worth it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Bisnesmies, a month agoI've tried hiding shorts since they came out and this fixed it, thank you. Also if its possible would love to see setting for the size of player ui/buttons. They seem to be a lot bigger then before.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18940894, 2 months agoJonny Bunana is better than most of the Youtube staff, it's silly to think we need this addon in 2025.. but today i woke up to enlarged Youtube thumbnails that were comically bad and this addon took care of all of the bad decisions coming from Youtube HQ.
- Rated 5 out of 5by tuxlx, 2 months agoThis is the only addon I know that effectively blocks YT autoplay. Good one. Many thanks.

- Rated 4 out of 5by AlanMcRae, 3 months agoIt's a great extension and the "Hide Channel" feature was the best but this now seems to be broken unfortunately, it was the best way to stop seeing the same channels constantly .
- Rated 5 out of 5by Anonymous, 3 months agoI love this extension, but I wish it had an option to set the default video quality (ex: 1080p).
- Rated 5 out of 5by pugmalion1, 3 months agoProbably the most useful add-on I have outside of uBlock. Quick FYI, though... Looks like the "Hide Playlist" option is currently just hiding all videos. Not even close to a big deal, but thought you should know.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Rob s, 3 months agoCurrently, this extension flags Youtube's adblock detection making it unusable. Disabling it fixes it.
Edit: thanks for the speedy fix.Developer response
posted 3 months agov1.13.0 now pulls the 3 specific options which can trigger this up into their own group at the top of the with a warning note, so it's easier to disable them. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19201028, 3 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by GIHunter6, 3 months agoPlease just remove the adblocking functionality entirely. Youtube detects it and blocks videos whether the adblock is turned on or not, and you have to disable the extension entirely just to play the video. uBlock Origin already blocks Youtube ads without being detected, so it's redundant anyway.
