- (2025-08-25) Роман Козлов: stopped working. shows modern youtube.
- (2025-08-23) Nick gilbert: Very good
- (2025-08-22) p3tr0ne 12: 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)
- (2025-08-21) Maxamillion saye: 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
- (2025-08-20) John Johnson: 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
- (2025-08-20) owen: Just what I was looking for, no youtube games, shorts, only videos.
- (2025-08-17) Kris: Thank you for updating this awesome extension! ^_^
- (2025-08-14) ballz: works great! very customizable
- (2025-08-14) ekhros: Up-to-date extension, revitalizes your YouTube experience. Corporations really want us to feel depressed.
- (2025-08-11) Toshihiko: 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.
- (2025-08-10) deez: 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
- (2025-08-09) wutgoddamit: 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.
- (2025-08-06) BODY-LAB: 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.
- (2025-08-02) Marek Povazan: Great extension, although, it doesn´t work well with new YouTube version. Controls are mostly hidden under the screen.
- (2025-07-30) Tanner Rosser: Best youtube customizer EVER
- (2025-07-26) Adam Vandros: 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.
- (2025-07-26) Kristoff Seisler: It didnt change the ui it just made everything squishy and uncomfortable
- (2025-07-26) Só um Cabeça de mato: Please let us change the new player, the new UI! It's horrible!!!
- (2025-07-21) Misan: 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!
- (2025-07-15) Lady Death: Outstanding!
- (2025-07-12) Zach: How do you reset it
- (2025-07-10) TRAX 380: 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
- (2025-07-03) StarlightEdits: 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.
- (2025-06-30) Quantascopic: 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 ..
- (2025-06-25) Nash Hallett: 5 stars bro I can finally get a nostalgic feeling again
- (2025-06-24) daniel: update: so far amazing!!! i dont know if yall fixed the icon player issue but it does look fixed, thanks so much :-)
- (2025-06-24) Kieran Farrell: love this!! Goes well with my Windows XP style Windows 11
- (2025-06-18) Patrick Mason: 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.
- (2025-06-18) singer: When i press "view my channel" i see new buttons please fix it!
- (2025-06-16) Rabekah W.: 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.
- (2025-06-14) Shadow Flame: 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.
- (2025-06-07) ص ع ص: gold days
- (2025-06-02) deidra croom: THIS NEW VERSION IS TERRIBLE. I NEED OLD VERSION. WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT BROKE PLEASE DON'T TRY TO FIX IT
- (2025-05-29) KyloZach: 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!
- (2025-05-26) Filip Filip: Based
- (2025-05-22) Lele Tay: This works!! I love it!! Thx for your service <3333
- (2025-05-21) Trent: Really does bring back the old look
- (2025-05-15) Reverent Evzheniy: 10/10. Makes Youtube great again.
- (2025-05-15) Gabriel Glorioso: my only complaint is that this does not work with Annotations Restored for YouTube™ PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
- (2025-05-15) Pøkémøn Néa: Great! I've used it for a while! can you fix the loading symbol. Sorry about the stupid request, I just hate the new one...
- (2025-05-12) CoolDude65: DUDE, please add a "Hide Views, Comments, Likes, Dislikes, Subscribers Count" thing, and this'll be 5 stars!
- (2025-05-11) Rafael: The best extension for YouTube ever made! It's so nostalgic to use YT with the old layout... It feels much better than the modern design.
- (2025-05-10) KilledbyCrit: perfect!
- (2025-05-07) Retarded Monkey: only works on the home page and not subscriptions which makes it worthless
- (2025-05-07) ash s: Looks so Good!!!
- (2025-05-04) Jared Turton: Very good extension, much prefer this over the new youtube UI. Only minor gripe I have is that the small player uses the same screen size ratio as my monitor (21:9) when it should be 16:9, and it makes the small player a bit too small.
- (2025-04-28) Gods Buffoon: Pretty much needed now since I can't see anything on Youtube with it's moronically massive thumbnails.
- (2025-04-22) TheSystemGuy128: Another victim of YouTube and Google's unlawful electronic jamming. It does "work", but there's MANY issues as YouTube is actively attempting to jam and block this extension.
- (2025-04-17) Marlone Dantas: After the terrible update of YouTube, this extension became essential even though I only use the number of videos per Row.
- (2025-04-16) Взрывной Пит: сидел на версии 3.4, ютуб выкатил какую то плашку в верху главной страницы, решил обновиться, думал исправит, мало того что не исправило, так ещё и оказалось что на новой версии не работает функционал раздела Hide features, не работает полностью, включай не включай, ютуб всё равно всё показывает
