This is a must!
It may not bring back the old YouTube layout exactly, but it feels just like it.
Removes all Shorts, AI-slop, Irrelevant recommendations, etc.

Really excited to have found this extension. I tweak major sites like Gmail with Stylebot all the time. It's great we can make selections for this extension. Can you please add an option for rounded corners for the video thumbnails?

Amazing, but the only bad side of it is that the video views are still abbreviated. Other than that the addon is truly delightful.

it makes youtube look like old youtube but it makes youtube INCREDIBLY slow. it takes like 30 years for it to switch to a different video.

Good extension for the most part, but recently I've been having this issue where the prompt to open live chat won't appear even if I enable it in settings. When I uninstalled the extension it started working again so now I'm just confused on whats happening

good yes

Doesn't bring back the Library/You tab. Completely broken and useless

Thank you omnidev for making this. It brings back the nostalgia of the 2010s

This extension is just pure bliss. Seriously, this made me love YouTube even more than I do anyways now and I can just feel myself getting whole every minute while using this extension. You should absolutely get this right now, however you have to set it up, otherwise it looks REALLY oldschool!

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.

Cant change terrible large videoplayer UI back to old one. Only thing I downloaded it for.

Very good extension that makes the UI much easier to wrangle, but it sometimes disables the ability to pop out the video from the tab which is very annoying. Otherwise really good product.
(If I'm just missing a setting then I am really sorry)

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.

just no

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

This add-on would be good... if it actually would modify the video loader. The new video loader with huge buttons looks weird with the old YouTube UI. Other than, everything else seems to work fine.

This addon modifies a lot of things on Youtube's pages, but I only consider one of those changes a good thing. The others are odd, or even bad.

First the positive one: it allows you to view more thumbnails on the mainpage. That's great!

However, along with that singular positive thing, comes a lot of questionable ones. For example, the default settings make everything about the page layouts look older, less modern, even ugly. Why is that? And even though you can disable some of these changes, there are things that it messes up permanently. Like the latest Youtube posts. They get truncated to just a few words each, and there is no option to change that behaviour. Also, playlist thumbnails are unaffected (= remain huge) despite everything else shrinking. The layouts just become erratic and mismatched.

I would not recommend this addon. If you just want to see more video thumbnails on Youtube's main page, there are better ways to achieve that.
