di SomersetUpNorth, 6 mesi faIn 2025, this add-on is an absolute must-have. YouTube has made a series of frustrating and questionable changes in recent years, many of which have negatively impacted the user experience. This tool goes a long way in helping to restore some sanity and usability to the platform.
Whether it's undoing design choices that don’t benefit viewers, or reintroducing elements that users actually found helpful, this add-on feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and works exactly as described. If you’re tired of fighting with a platform that seems to ignore its community’s feedback, this is well worth installing.
One small suggestion for a future update: please consider adding the ability to disable the "important" notifications and bring back chronological ones instead. Many of us just want to see updates in the order they happen, without the algorithm deciding what’s important on our behalf.
Overall, this add-on does an excellent job of putting some control back in the hands of users. Highly recommended!

- Valutata 1 su 5di That One Guy, 4 giorni faIt doesn't work to hide those dogshit members only videos. Which I'd give anything to make those MFer's gone forever.

- Valutata 4 su 5di Saggie, 4 giorni faIt's a cool extension, essentioal with that new shitty UI. But can I ask for you to do something with "add to playlist" option, so you can, as before this new shitty UI, add one song to multiple playlists without the window being closed after each.
Thanks you so muc, hope you will read this. - Valutata 5 su 5di Simon, 5 giorni fathank you for taking the time to make this and share it with the rest of us!
- Valutata 5 su 5di petethecanuck, 5 giorni faWorks great, especially after YT shit the bed with it's latest UI update. Need to refresh page (as of today) for it to work though. Still THE best extension for Firefox. Thank you!
- Valutata 5 su 5di Spookaburra, 6 giorni faIt 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".
EDIT 2.0: It seems like the UI "sticks" when you don't open a new page. Like, say, you have to refresh the page a few times, and finally the extension kicks in, and fixes the UI. Opening a video in a new tab makes the new UI come back, and you have to refresh again, and it's annoying. But if you're in, for example, a playlist, you get to the next video, and then the next, and you're five videos in and hey! You haven't had any trouble with the UI reverting. Nice!
TL;DR: Refresh the page a few times to make the new UI go away, then stay on that page by either copy+pasting new URLs onto said page, or by using a playlist. I use my Watch Later, because I've already used it as long as I can remember, and it's convenient to just hit the little clock icon and have everything ready to go. - Valutata 5 su 5di Jaluvshuskies, 7 giorni fa
- Valutata 3 su 5di Garrus-V, 8 giorni faIt 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.

- Valutata 4 su 5di lazyfrenchfries, un mese faThis addon rules, I absolutely love it. I only wish there was an option to hide the new "Jump Ahead" feature.
- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 19472089, 2 mesi faadds 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) - Valutata 5 su 5di HOME-REB001, 2 mesi faThe 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.
- Valutata 5 su 5di Bisnesmies, 2 mesi faI'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.

- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18940894, 2 mesi faJonny 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.
