Currently working on an update to this plugin, they've redesigned youtube AGAIN. So will probably take a few days (as of the 15th October) to get the unrounded borders back. Thanks for your patience.

- Artem Gorikov
- Youtube started doing round corners on videos for me today. What a hideous feature to cut off portion of video. I like round corners on control elements, but not on video! This extension saved my day!
- mark ifi
- this solves a pressing problem of our time
- Jale Swiftpaw
- Excellent extension. Looking forward to the update since YouTube changed the layout.
- Ms. Deathwish
- has stopped working on the video player ever since the layout was changed again, it works for thumbnails but not for the video itself
- Diegatus (Diegatus)
- Works great to customize the youtube page look. A suggestion is it should affect the playlist thumbnails too on the homepage, they still keep the rounded corners.
- Niharika Agrawal
- awesome fantastic work keep it up
- Michael Rozwadowski (Club_Michas)
- not working.

- Works perfectly. Never understood why removing the corners of videos was desirable, you're actually losing data and it adds nothing. Videos are rendered and uploaded with corners, while some muppet at Youtube thinks they know better. Well they don't, they're d!ckheads, and the more they tamper with the platform the worse it gets.
