  • (2025-04-05) szaronkox: Sad that it's discontinued :( edit: you can use youtube redux instead
  • (2025-03-30) Indigo Cat: this was really fun while it lasted without bugs for me but the older layouts (2008 specifically WHICH WAS THE ONE I USED) are completly neglected, the 2008 layout is so glitchy the videos in the front page clip over eachother and it's imposible to read what are their titles. and now the 2009 layout is starting to glitch too, the modern side bar is now apearing and you have to deactivate the extention so you can use sertain parts of youtube, plus the search bar is glitched in both where the recomendations no longer apear. still use it tho

  • (2025-01-23) Grayson's Back: kinda good extension but dark mode, meh it works but the logo is inverted...
  • (2025-01-19) slysnake96: Such an amazing extension but it seriously needs an update to fix the many small glitches and bugs that are becoming more and more common as time goes on. I would rate it 5 stars if it got more frequent updates.
  • (2025-01-17) Billy B Buttercream (Billy): very good but the logo might be glitched, still fantastic and i was shocked by all the options
  • (2025-01-12) Athena Acetone: pretty good but there's some noticeable glitches, the ones i have an issue with are the search bar and playlists displaying as the current layout/going broken or out of place. i don't know if this applies to the other old ones as i'm using the 2012 one :)
  • (2025-01-09) Tech RobloxGaming: bruh HOW HASNT THIS THING BEEN UPDATED SINCE A YEAR LIKE THE SEARCH BAR IS LITERALY BROKEN NOW

  • (2024-12-29) rowen cayabyab: kinda looks cool
  • (2024-12-29) synthia: this is good, but there are a few glitches, one is when i view a channel one part of it is just blue, lol, but still, this is a great extension id recommend =)
  • (2024-12-29) ahhh: I like it alot but the search bar in the 2008 version is hidden by the home button so if that was fixed it would be great. And the logo is messed up/a few other bugs
  • (2024-12-28) Ellen Bugar: too many bugs
  • (2024-12-13) TezzWasHere: great extension to go back to the windows 7/xp eras. but... why is the logo light blue ; ;
  • (2024-12-12) Václav Rada: An awsome extention bringing back the old YT themes. Unfortunately YT keeps braking it every time it gets an layout/theme update. Please keep up the good work of fixing issues, every update.
  • (2024-12-12) Caleb Dixon: Something went wrong. My 2014 YouTube theme it's breaking because somehow it has both create and upload theme of the same time and the search bar is not 2014 themed. Please fix this bug
  • (2024-12-08) Christian Renison: fix the dislikes and comments
  • (2024-12-04) definitelyabot21: Its still broken but ill rate it a 4 stars since it has so much detail into this, i recommend fixing it but it looks good!!!
  • (2024-11-28) Mr. Smeghead: I'm sure it's great, but I specifically got this extension to attempt to create a mockup of what a youtuber's channel would look like, and 2009 channel pages do not look accurate at all. I'm sorry but that completely ruined it for me. If this is improved than I could easily see myself giving it at least 4 stars.
  • (2024-11-23) MarylBear TV: GREAT BUT FIX THE LOGO PLEASE
  • (2024-11-21) sergio gabriel sobral carvalho: arthur????
  • (2024-11-20) Krstia no: WHOEVER MADE THIS UR AMAZING MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES ARE BACK THANK YOU!!!!!!
  • (2024-11-19) Lincoln Russo: lots of bugs also doesnt work well on windows 7
  • (2024-11-18) lizradical: PLEAAAASE fix the bugs with the even older layouts. when i'm watching older videos i like to use the layout that would have been active at the time of the upload but the layouts are currently REALLY broken. :( better than ytredux though.
  • (2024-11-12) JoJo Hale: why is the yt logo blue
  • (2024-11-09) Catalyst GP: Worked for a while, but recently it's started causing certain videos to break YouTube. Lowered my review to 3 stars because of this.
  • (2024-11-04) Rabekah W.: okay the layout is a bit better for 2011 now. thank you. there are still some issues but it is sm better
  • (2024-11-01) kittythekatz: honestly i like this extension better than yt redux, but this hasnt been updated since February and some of the layouts are broken 2012 layout's home screen being REALLYY messy and clearly broken, the like and dislike buttons not working etc i also think the classic style should also be applied to yt shorts or just COMPLETELY remove it since it kinda gets in the way T_T
  • (2024-10-30) Theo Birmingham: So it way WAY better than yt redux (i used redux it for like 1 or 2 years by now lol and i think it broke), LIKE WAY BETTER, but bad things/bugs is it has a rounded search (not very good), i dont think the upload icon/text is supposed to be that seperated between notif icon, dislike button is slightly cut off and cut of guide button and maybe more but overall EXTREMELY GOOD EXTENSION, a bit buggy, but still, HEAVILY resemble older theme Also if anybody dosent know which theme to pick, i would recommend 2013 or 2012 to 2016, not because of buggyness, mostly because esthetics.
  • (2024-10-25) Melody Rusty: Kinda broken but still I love it!!
  • (2024-10-23) Dragon ZWWX: When chose dark mode the youtube logo will turn blue instead of red I hope this going be fix. This well made bring nostalgic memories when platform was better place back then.
  • (2024-10-20) Rachel Halterman: very great but. how do i change the inverted colors youtube logo?
  • (2024-10-20) Laurence Bati: It could be improved, like when im watching a vid, the like and dislike button is cutted in half. Please update the extension, your extension is broken.
  • (2024-10-16) Prerak Gajjar: Great Extension for those who want to see old YouTube Layout. Keep it up 👍
