Faster response than the new version

Lars Aaby 2025-10-09

Looks very nice, but doesn't work for the new youtube player buttons that rolled out this summer or whatever, which sucks.

Bob Bob 2025-10-07

Lovely! Could there be an option in the future to disable the 'Ask' AI button on videos too?

Tyler 2025-10-04

When I removed the plugin, The profiles in comment sections are still small.

Dwayne Lawrence 2025-10-03

Great extension. YouTube's homepage is way too big now.

Raven 2025-09-28

it ACTUALLY works and doesnt bug out at all, and doesn't take long to fix problems when they do show up! love this extension, just one thing. it would be perfect if you could choose which old layout you can use, like other than the 2017 one, before or after that. other than that this is great.

Joe Swanson 2025-09-26

Great! also can you make the line under the view counter longer like it used to be

Betsy Gilks 2025-09-02

it's great but it needs to be able to interact with custommtube because they clash badly!

Argyll B 2025-09-02

Thank you for sharing

insanity10k 2025-09-02

Crazy how more people don't know about this. I love this extension! More people ought to use it! Thanks!

CIArat 2025-08-29

works good and isnt broken! just needs an option to hide avatars/profile pictures on videos in the homepage

Grey Bear 2025-08-28

Great But how do i get the old logo? and Im also shocked how good this is!

Роман Козлов 2025-08-25

stopped working. shows modern youtube.

Nick gilbert 2025-08-23

Very good

p3tr0ne 12 2025-08-22

it seems like a really good UI change but youtube's latest (at the time of writing) UI update breaks this extension. I hope either youtube change's it back, YouTube Redux send an update, or a separate extension reverts it back and is compatible with Redux. (aka looks cool but youtube broke it)

Maxamillion saye 2025-08-21

so first off i love this second for some reason it doesn't use the old red colors on certain things and it doesn't have the old logo. the rest though is like perfect. there is the matter of the skip ad button not being the old square one but i really don't care about that. thank you for this extension

John Johnson 2025-08-20

the Ui looks just like the mid 2010s i love it due to nostalgia however its a little broken right now due to youtubes new ui update so please fix that

owen 2025-08-20

Just what I was looking for, no youtube games, shorts, only videos.

Kris 2025-08-17

Thank you for updating this awesome extension! ^_^

ballz 2025-08-14

works great! very customizable

ekhros 2025-08-14

Up-to-date extension, revitalizes your YouTube experience. Corporations really want us to feel depressed.

Toshihiko 2025-08-11

When using the "Use small video player" option in Windows, the player size gets smaller each time you watch a video. This seems to be a bug. Because doing the same thing on a Chromebook doesn't cause the same problem.

deez 2025-08-10

I like this extension i only used it cause red subscribe button but jus decided to go all in on the early 2000's YT vibe one problem by default the video player in very small by default and i had to fiddle around in the settings to not ruin my posture to watch youtube (fullscreen exists too ig) but that doesn't really matter the main problem i had with this was the new subscribe animation clashed with the rectangular sub button i dont mind the smoothness (if thats a word) id just like it if it were rectangular

wutgoddamit 2025-08-09

This is a nice extension. but I have a problem. When I open up a Youtube short, the video scales to a regular video. I know it is one of the settings in this extension because when I turn it off I do not have this problem. I just do not know which one it is though.

BODY-LAB 2025-08-06

This is a bug report regarding the "YouTube Redux" extension. When using the extension with the Vivaldi browser (Chromium-based), the popup UI appears extremely small, making it difficult or impossible to interact with the settings. Specifically, when clicking the extension icon, the popup window is rendered with very limited width and height, preventing proper scrolling or clicking. Behavior in other browsers has not been verified, but under Vivaldi, the UI size is clearly inadequate and interferes with usability. If possible, I would appreciate it if you could consider allowing the popup UI size to be adjustable, or providing an option to open the settings in a separate tab. Thank you for your attention.

Marek Povazan 2025-08-02

Great extension, although, it doesn´t work well with new YouTube version. Controls are mostly hidden under the screen.

Tanner Rosser 2025-07-30

Best youtube customizer EVER

Adam Vandros 2025-07-26

After the new YouTube video UI update I started looking for a fix and found this. It doesn't fix the awful video UI layout but I love this extension. Please fix the video UI layout when possible - I hate what they did with theatre mode almost making it similar to full screen, I liked being able to see the video in a bigger picture than default but without it taking up entire screen. Either way I'll be donating soon because I love the extension.

Kristoff Seisler 2025-07-26

It didnt change the ui it just made everything squishy and uncomfortable

Só um Cabeça de mato 2025-07-26

Please let us change the new player, the new UI! It's horrible!!!

Misan 2025-07-21

great extension but youtube shorts are appearing in my search again even though I have them to be hidden toggled, just that fix and it'll be back to being perfect again!

Lady Death 2025-07-15

Outstanding!

Zach 2025-07-12

How do you reset it

TRAX 380 2025-07-10

it nice the best one just we need to add the old Video Layout progress bar i hope you make an update fast and thank you

StarlightEdits 2025-07-03

It's really great but can you fix some stuff. 1. Replicate the old dropdown menu when you click switch account. 2. Change the You tab back to LIBARY 3. Restore Old History Icon 4. Fix the autoplay icon bc it is back to the video player 5. Fix the alternative video page strings where its add to again 6. make the three lines icon beside the logo small 7. remove the compact icons when closing sidebar 8. Add the old upload icon text bc it was the goat 9. Recreate the old playlist view page 10. and finally fix it where search with ur voice, catergories are removed.

Quantascopic 2025-06-30

Thank you for this Extension !! Youtube makes their own site worse and worse , no clue what these people think... This Extension reverts the most stupid decisions of the youtube managers ..

Nash Hallett 2025-06-25

5 stars bro I can finally get a nostalgic feeling again

daniel 2025-06-24

update: so far amazing!!! i dont know if yall fixed the icon player issue but it does look fixed, thanks so much :-)

Kieran Farrell 2025-06-24

love this!! Goes well with my Windows XP style Windows 11

Patrick Mason 2025-06-18

It's good, but it could use more accessibility options. I would highly suggest an option that lets you toggle the text size. There's also a minor bug with the interface when viewing playlists that you created, where the "Sort - | All | Videos | Shorts" top menu bar is cut off at the bottom and looks rather ugly.

singer 2025-06-18

When i press "view my channel" i see new buttons please fix it!

Rabekah W. 2025-06-16

i like it. i just wish we could choose which layout we wanted. for a while i was using custom tube with the 2011 layout and i really loved that layout. with this one it seems like there's only one layout. still cool though.

Shadow Flame 2025-06-14

For the past 2 weeks now I would say, the Search Bar has been the same as the current Youtube layout (like when you click on the Search bar and type the layout is different). So if you could fix it that would be great.

THIS NEW VERSION IS TERRIBLE. I NEED OLD VERSION. WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT BROKE PLEASE DON'T TRY TO FIX IT

KyloZach 2025-05-29

Hits me so much with nostalgia, feels like when YouTube is great again! I also used an extension to remove Shorts cause there's no point in them. Works amazing man!
