- Great extension for the nostalgic folks like me. Only flaw I see is that the webpage itself keeps shrinking every time i switch to another video, or zoom in and out, which can get annoying.
- Lokesh Badam
- good one
- Anh
- Don't create another player ui, just create compatibility with PlayerTube please.
- Aiden Ellul
- Brings Me back the nostalgia
- Cesar Arellano
- it works, only sometimes tho cuz when i click on a video to watch it, everything but the video freezes and i cant click on anything
- Lyah Gonzalez
- The options sometimes don't work, and sometimes they do.
- Conner reynolds
- You make the best nostalgic extension ever made. Update idea: Old video progress bar (2006-09, 2010-11, 2012, 2013-14, 2015.) Reason of idea: Does not work on PlayerTube.
- CNorte2
- The extesion is great, but if you accept a suggestion give an option in the hidden features page to see chanell logos, I think is une of the only good changes youtube did and also the collabs menu dont show properly, another cool change i think. Also the coments keep showing like its reddit, another option you could add. Thanks and keep the good work
- Byron Kelley (PapaBear562)
- I like this. Now if only I can find a way to move the "Subscriptions" back below "You" on the left sidebar I'd be happy.
- Shriram Mathivanan
- I love this Extension. Easy customization options. Keep up the Good work.
- No Name
- I love it! Honestly. I just wish I had the option to keep the corners of things rounded, because I just prefer the way that looks. Otherwise, this is great! The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because of the aforementioned point. But I understand this is built for 2000s-2010s style Youtube, and it recreates that perfectly! Edit: The only reason -- the only reason -- I downloaded this was because I didn't like the movement of the 'hide replies' button from the top to the bottom. I just didn't like it because my muscle memory kept closing the replies when I wanted to read more and was incredibly annoying. Please fix this! Thank you.
- Joey Shi
- Really good! It would be nice if it also had an option to disable shorts.
- 1 0
- it doesnt work on youtube music
- Austin Miller
- Peak, if you're a fan of 2000's and 2010's youtube this is for you

- This extension is literally everything I needed! YouTube has been a major mess in recent years, and being able to completely change every part of the UI is incredibly helpful, from the comment sections, to the home and subscription page, hell even the video player itself too! One thing this extension is missing though is an "off/on" toggle. You see, I'd love to switch back and forth from the updated UI from the UI I've personalized myself, but unfortunately I don't see that as an option, and want to change my screen back to normal, that way I can compare the two screens to see if I like the layout. The only way I see that as being an option is completely removing the extension, and I don't want that. Unless I've skipped that button, but I don't see it anywhere. Add a "off/on" toggle, and this thing is an absolute 100% in my book! Please keep us updated! 💣🦅🔥🔥🔥
- neoexodus
- Really good! Holds up well despite the recent UI update.
- Freeman
- Absolute way to restore youtube but..... the new youtube redesign ruined this mod to youtube i hope to fix this
- Puneet Mhajan
- Y'all can't be serious right? It's been a month, why haven't you updated the extension?
- Fast Sonic
- this is super cool! but can you remove the ai ask button?
- Omer
- very cool
- Games HR
- It's very accurate but please, as I said earlier, such a small thing to fix: the top bar is still black when using theater mode while using white theme at the same time.
- its toshii
- This extension was working fine for me but as of late, it feels like it's not doing anything anymore.
- Wan1der
- Its really great, but there's one thing that this extension needs for me to give it a five star, the video player should change depending on what year you choose.
- Joe Swanson
- can you please add back the old video player and reverse the recent update
- Thedas Wolves
- 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.
- Kitty Lue
- 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.
