Description from store
PlayerTube is a free browser extension that is used for editing and changing up the style of the current YouTube player to a more older (and better) look.
PlayerTube provides lots of features & options that can change the YouTube player's functionality and/or look, each can be enabled or disabled from it's extension menu.
Users can customize the style of their YouTube player and share it across the web for others to use with custom theming. PlayerTube provides a whole page dedicated to it's custom themes feature so users can jump right in without looking up a YouTube tutorial.
Latest update (v1.8.2):
* Disabled the extra hovering effects due to unfortunate performance issues. (Or something along that; turned this off for a while & seems to be running way better) I should aplogize for this issue, as I should've tested it more. Future updates will not miss out on any proper testing; pinky promise!
* Updated links in settings popup.
* Build script improvements.

- (2025-07-01) Aaron Rodrigues: Aside from the progress bar not being filled all the way and sometimes disappearing (this does not affect the fake bar option by the way), this is a really good extension, one worthy of being used alongside Youtube Redux. Edit: The progress bar disappearing has been mostly resolved (doesn't happen often), but the small piece of space at the end of the progress bar is still there. I'm wondering why it is, if the creator knows about it, and if it is possible to fix.
- (2025-02-03) 100 Greatest Songs: More compact. Stops another extension from cluttering out and hiding the volume slider.
- (2025-01-26) GRG: Mostly works well, but as of late it has caused severe lag on YouTube, so I had to disable it. I hope this can be fixed soon!

- (2024-06-19) John Citrus: It's good, but a major flaw is that in my case, it seems that the player is a little too high and therefore when you watch a video a small part of the top sticks out. This then means that you see the video progressing live, which I'm quite sure is not how it went in the past (unless the dev can correct me on this and this was the intention). Even before the bar moves down when watching a video, you see the bar is a little too high and there's a gap between the video and the bar at its bottom. Would be great if there's a fix for it, or if the dev can fix it. EDIT: Indeed, it appears older youtube actually had this feature and I just did not remember after going through footage of it. It seems sadly the advice given on toggling the fake bar does not change anything for me...? But it seems the extension is largely doing its job, so thank you dev.
- (2024-05-25) Kristel mae Sabalero: OMG VERY GREAT! :D But i hope you fix it cuz when i applied the customtube, the end of the video player line is a bit broken, and so are some of the button, even without customtube it's still happening :( but still great!
- (2024-04-30) Дима Бабаченко (Rasbur): It's a bit broken, especially the 2006 player. In any case, it's better than a modern, flat player :)
- (2024-01-30) who's afraid: Thank you for such an amazing extension. Works great. Will it be posted in Opera store?
- (2024-01-09) fujo princess: It's a good site, but I am just not understanding the directions on how to add like the 2010 yt style??? none of it is making sense to me
