- thanx for the update, works great again after I installed new version. cant use youtube without this!
- Prince Nox (Haru)
- great product! if possible, I'd like a way to return the old theatre mode. The new one is garbage, no idea what the idiots at google are smoking making you unable to scroll down while in theatre mode now, absolutely ridiculous.

- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE remove/modify/add scaling options for the screen size (@media?) column layout switch, I want the comments and suggested videos to be in two side-by-side columns like they were a few days ago but I have to be zoomed all the way out to 67% for Redux to think my screen is wide enough to display two columns of content that have always had space to exist side by side even back in 2005 when most people had 4:3 monitors. Both columns should be able to show up side by side even at a width of 1024px. Other than that, the extension seems really good and stable, I would have rated 5/5 if not for that blindspot that doesn't 100% fix, IMO, the most infuriating part of the recent youtube UI change. Anyway thanks for the extension and I would love to see this tweak implemented.
- XDMauriDX
- This is actually good. Now i can see videos or search videos in a old style version of youtube but with dark mode
- Puneet Mhajan
- Update please? It's not working anymore
- 404NeverFound
- An EPIC extension!! Works great, constant updates to make sure everything is working right. Feels like the classic!! I cant wait till OP finds a way to fix the new video UI.. The new UI sucks. I am in love with this extension, its one of my favorites. I Highly recommend it for users who miss the classic look.
- Layne
- appreciate all the work put into this extension
- Celeste
- works perfectly :) hoping a fix to the videoplayer ui is released soon
- Laz _
- Really good, people who give less stars because they haven't added a fix to new stuff yet need to be patient. (Such as the new video ui & playlist ui thing). I would like it if they had a 2018 and 2020 layout, that would be nice.
- Gary Ying
- Doesn't save you from the fugly new UI "save to playlist"
- Jay Cie (Bry)
- This works very well ... and would be 5 stars, except for one thing very important to me. Simply turning on the extension, even if no selections are enabled, causes my YouTube notification bell to completely disappear. Turn the extension off and the bell reappears. That bell feature allows me to easily see any responses to comments I leave on videos, as well as new videos from the numerous channels to which I sub, as soon as the videos are posted, saving the trouble of having to hunt through screens or have YouTube notifications pop up on my Chromebook when I'm not on YouTube. I think I've tried every possible combination in this extension's settings trying to have the bell show, but am I missing something? If not, is there a way to enable the notification bell in a future update? Thank you.
- Rackhead
- The new UI is weird, I need a break.
- HistoryBird
- Please for the love of anything that has ruined YouTube, MAKE THE UPDATE FOR THE OLD UI ON VIDEOS! IT'S UGLY!
- Austux •
- it does work +- just needs video buttons to be changed (since so far all extensions seem to use whatever youtube currently has)
- T Young
- This does not work with the latest youtube change
- Melissa Major
- Love the extension! I've been using it for about a year+ and really enjoy its responsiveness, whenever YT decides to mess with the gui. Thanks guys! MelJ
- Wolfcrafter_HD
- Mix it with "Enhancer for YouTube" and you got a close to perfect YouTube Gui
- is this the real life
- This extension is really great, it's the best tool to make YouTube feel as good as it used to be. The only issue is that there is no way to open the customization page, like the settings for this specific extension, other than the first time you add it, and a bookmark or removing it and adding again... :( The issues with the player are caused by YouTube's updates, not the extension at fault; the buttons in the player simply don't scale with the extension, besides now looking uglier than before. The fix I found was to uncheck the option "Use small video player" and play them in large format, although it looks disgustingly large.
- Kori Lash
- Can you fix the -/+5/10 suddenly appearing when you fast forward or rewind 5 or 10 seconds
- Deyana
- tnx bro you removed the eyesore
- Aleksey
- Please add an option to restore the old player design.
- Morgan друг
- Im hoping for an update that changes the in-video icons back to the classic ones, or at LEAST the ones from a few days ago before the most recent ugly change. these new ones are just too big and fisher-price like.
- Izzy
- great however youtube keeps effing up their ui
- mark wise
- amazing extension! I would give 5 stars if it changed the icons for stuff like the bell and the icons in the video player.
- Dejan Gammer (DejanGammer)
- Love the app, yet i feel that it lacks the feature to disable shorts in the homepage. If it weren't for this lack of feature i would give 5 stars.
- R.
- No way to access settings from "beside the address bar" as the app claims. No way to access them except from the Thanks For Installing page. You have to save that page to bookmarks if you ever want to see it again. But I removed it anyway because it constantly froze Chrome (frozen tabs, can't open new window, etc), you have no control over the miniplayer when you're on the YouTube main page, and whatever's playing in the miniplayer goes back to the beginning (if it plays at all) every time you maximise the miniplayer (which you often have to do to get the video to play). After of 30 minutes fighting with YouTube and the play queue after installing this app, it is GONE. Bye bye, won't miss ya. There are more problems than I listed.
- Ttzz T
- Faster response than the new version
- Lars Aaby
- Looks very nice, but doesn't work for the new youtube player buttons that rolled out this summer or whatever, which sucks.
- Bob Bob
- Lovely! Could there be an option in the future to disable the 'Ask' AI button on videos too?
- Tyler
- When I removed the plugin, The profiles in comment sections are still small.
- Dwayne Lawrence
- Great extension. YouTube's homepage is way too big now.
- Raven
- 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
- Great! also can you make the line under the view counter longer like it used to be
- Betsy Gilks
- it's great but it needs to be able to interact with custommtube because they clash badly!
- Argyll B
- Thank you for sharing
- insanity10k
- Crazy how more people don't know about this. I love this extension! More people ought to use it! Thanks!
- CIArat
- works good and isnt broken! just needs an option to hide avatars/profile pictures on videos in the homepage
- Grey Bear
- Great But how do i get the old logo? and Im also shocked how good this is!
- Роман Козлов
- stopped working. shows modern youtube.
- Nick gilbert
- Very good
- 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)
- 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
- 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
- owen
- Just what I was looking for, no youtube games, shorts, only videos.
- Kris
- Thank you for updating this awesome extension! ^_^
- ballz
- works great! very customizable
- ekhros
- Up-to-date extension, revitalizes your YouTube experience. Corporations really want us to feel depressed.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
