What an amazing extension is this. My YouTube is now blazingly fast. Please keep doing the good work in the name of Humanity that companies like google fails because they prioritize profits over people. This extension also made YouTube on Firefox faster because google is known to slow down YouTube on non-chromium based browsers through their Polymer JS framework.

Great add-on, removes much of the ugliness that the "modern" UI tries to force on you.

If I could make a request, could you add the option to hide the "includes paid promotion" pop-up that appears when you hover over certain thumbnails? With the smaller thumbnails that this add-on gives you, it makes it very easy to accidentally click that pop-up instead of the video when you want to watch something.

Hated so much the new icons that I actually wanted to use this type of extension. YouTube is getting trashier by the year.

An extremely useful addition to the youtube experience, although I really wish you could change the video player itself with it.

I really like it, that's all

we need new update with old UI!

Not only gave me the possibility of going back to a more usable, nostalgic and overall better looking UI but surprisingly also made youtube to work better and load faster in most instances - in the process making even more evident how much of a bad job the people behind YT are doing with all the bloat "updates" and terrible design choices. Great, great add-on

Looks good, stream viewer count doesn't automatically update though

It's damn great, I wouldn't go on youtube without it!

I understand that the latest update requires permission to be able to export the configuration files, but I beg you, make it optional. Until then I will be forced, for safety reasons, to remove the addon. It is a shame because I really loved this extension.

edit:
Thank you for your quick response and understanding. Reverting back to 5 stars. Thanks for making YouTube usable again.

Thanks sooooooooo much

this makes the UI unironically friendlier than the new UI
