    Works reasonably well. One big problem is that playlists >200 videos simply dont play properly. Unable to skip after video 200, and when viewing the playlist generally you cant click on one after video 200 and have it show the playlist alongside the video. Also changing settings is a bit clunky but thats ok. Google plus is everywhere and given that it doesnt exist anymore related buttons dont work.

    Très bonne extension, c'est moins invasif et plus rapide à charger que la version actuelle ! La personnalisation est cool même si très techie, et l'aura nostalgique frappe fort ! Le seul problème que je pourrais y voir, ce serait que changer de résolutions durant une vidéo provoque une erreur. Mais mis à part ça, je n'ai rien à redire. Bravo à l'équipe ^^

    A nostalgic and more practical UI for YouTube, much better than the modern one.

    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.

    Hello,
    There is no reason to talk like that about a project made by 2 students in their free time, please behave accordingly in the future.

    You can submit a bug report either in our Discord community or via email "eov3cv@hotmail.com"
    V3 states clearly in both license and extension manifest/userscript header what google-based URLs can be accessed, it does not make any other type of request on your behalf, it only requests official Google APIs endpoints.
    You can also check with any logging mechanism (either a dedicated program or even a Fetch/XHR hook) what requests it makes and what data they include (the same as any official client).

    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.

    Hello,
    This can only be solved by submit a ticket to the developer of the extension to add support for old YouTube DOM structure.

    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

    Hello,
    This could be added only as an optional config, if this is what you meant, or you can submit a ticket to the developer of the extension to add support for old YouTube DOM structure.
