- Rated 4 out of 5by Faceman, 2 years agoYouTube is now so much more usable, with a customizable interface based on the older (superior) design. I use this alongside Unhook which provides a super clean and legible YT experience, highly recommended. It also works beautifully with dark mode!
However, the settings window for the extension is basically broken, it does not display properly, the UI does not scale to the window size and half of it is beyond the edge where it cannot be accessed. The only way I can change the settings is when the extension auto-updates, which opens a new tab with all of the configuration options. This new tab system is also pretty annoying when it interrupts whatever I was doing, but is neccessary for changing any settings for me. - Rated 4 out of 5by Jer, 3 years agoYT has done something else now; CC is now turned on by default, and all the controls to the right of the videos (including the CC button) have completely disappeared! I really hope you'll be fixing this soon!
- Rated 4 out of 5by TRUELIKEtheRIVER, 3 years agoCurrently broken for me, worked flawlessly a few days ago. Looks like Youtube screwed around with their stuff again.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Expert Plus, 3 years agoLike it, but just look at this old screesnhot - https://scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.18169-9/11257322_788950917867602_7832172598339070131_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s640x640&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=2c4854&_nc_ohc=qS26vl4Ss9cAX-rNCeE&_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-2.xx&oh=00_AT8RqCrKJ-B7S_ExkGEZmb54VP5ITxtfF0o4yHsDwir5Ug&oe=6286BC00 - how about also to change the video player from new to old?
- Rated 4 out of 5by IzzyHope58, 3 years agoThe only reason I got this addon was to remove the scrolling while in full-screen, and this addon does exactly that which is amazing. Only addon I've found that does that. There are a few changes this add-on makes that I don't care for however, like making the channel icons square instead of circle when watching a video. And I have disabled all the settings (minus true fullscreen). Overall really like this feature of the add-on, just wish I could disable the rest of the changes, but not a huge deal tbh. Thanks for making this :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by kurbu, 3 years agoReally wish I had this extension years ago! When they made the thumbnails huge, it limited a lot of what I could see on the home screen without scrolling. Also love that I can make the like/dislike bar green and red again!
I'd like to see an option that restores the numbered videos on playlists, the load more button on playlists and search results, and a dark mode for the home page and comments. But I'm really impressed with what this already does! - Rated 4 out of 5by WhereAmI, 3 years agoI am missing the full screen, settings and subtitles buttons, also the mini preview window is under the time toolbar, i can only see half of it, only temporary fix is going fullscreen and back, hope you can fix it next update
firefox 94.0.2
edit: I am using noscript and ublock, not sure if it's other extensions causing conflict, but the latest updates messed it up more, settings stays on the far right which is not visible, now even the temporary fix doesnt work. Tried changing YT language or region as you suggested, doesnt work either.Developer response
posted 3 years agoI'm not able to reproduce this. Are you using any other YouTube scripts/extensions? Try to see if changing YT language or region fixes it (in rare cases the site structure is slightly different between them). - Rated 4 out of 5by giwake, 4 years agoIt's great! A fantastic modification to bring back some nostalgia of better times.
My only complaint is that sometimes favicons don't stay and subtitles have issues, they don't stay on, requiring them to be turned back on, and their settings don't stay between videos. The subtitles also don't scale down past 100% size with the minus key, you have to go into the settings menu. It's annoying to do. - Rated 4 out of 5by xproot, 4 years agoPretty good, even though it needs some polishing like changing the player and other inconsistencies.

- Rated 4 out of 5by gamer.31, 4 years agoExcellent add-on. Unfortunately, it doesn't save settings (at least in private windows that is). I'm using FF portable, but I don't think that's the issue. If this gets fixed, it would be excellent, it just resets the settings on browser restart every time when you use private windows by default. I haven't tried regular windows.

posted 4 years agoGiven how the extension stores settings it's expected behavior that it will clear settings on every private window restart. I may rework it in the future but unfortunately it won't happen soon. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16420029, 4 years agoVery good extension. But one problem has appeared recently: the drop down menu is trying to display the options in a wider format than the menu allows, so half the menu is cut off and inaccessible. I've turned each of my other extensions off individually and checked to see if one of them was interfering, but nothing worked. Here's a link to an image of what the drop down menu is doing.

posted 4 years agoThanks for letting me know about that issue. I'll try to have it fixed soon. For now as a workaround you can restore the extension back to the toolbar, make some changes in its settings and hide it again within the 'More tools...' button. - Rated 4 out of 5by tttony, 4 years agosince yotube has been changing I had two others addons that stopped working, was looking for an addon that can change the player size and this one does the job the only bad? thing is that there is a blank space between the player/comments and the right sidebar

posted 4 years agoThanks for the suggestion, I'll have the fix for it added to the 'align content' setting soon.
Edit: it has been fixed and added to the small player option. - Rated 4 out of 5by hacKim, 4 years agoplease add 'sort by' option for videos. there is already a small addon 'youtube-sorter', which works partially.
