- Rated 3 out of 5by DON, 4 years agoYeah it used to be nicely separated in sections like "recommended for you", "popular in your country" or other topics. There is no grouping anymore, just an endless stream of thumbnails (in 6 columns, admittedly). Also the side panel used to be closed/minimised by default. The only thing that changed is that I updated the browser (and add-ons).

posted 4 years agoEdit to answer the edit: I haven't seen this sections myself for months. It's pretty much always been just a stream of thumbnails in Polymer for me. Same with the side panel being always open. Maybe you're using some other add-on/userscript that used to provide these features? - Rated 3 out of 5by Bosko Lasta, 4 years agoThis is a good extension but when i try to change the logo on Firefox 56 it just dosen't work. Why!? Also please add more minor old features, like the like and dislike button.
- Rated 5 out of 5by El Españistaní, 4 years agoThis is the best extension for recreate the old gorgeous YouTube design, with a lot of extras and a lot of updates to improve it.
If I could I would donate to him for his great work :) - Rated 4 out of 5by gamer.31, 4 years agoExcellent add-on. Unfortunately, it doesn't save settings (at least in private windows that is). I'm using FF portable, but I don't think that's the issue. If this gets fixed, it would be excellent, it just resets the settings on browser restart every time when you use private windows by default. I haven't tried regular windows.

posted 4 years agoGiven how the extension stores settings it's expected behavior that it will clear settings on every private window restart. I may rework it in the future but unfortunately it won't happen soon. - Rated 5 out of 5by Pê, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15169675, 4 years agocould you fix these empty spaces when using extra layout changes? http://prntscr.com/11cnmo3
or otherwise remove channel's avatar pictures on home page without extra changes?
25.04 Appreciate the implemented changes.Developer response
posted 4 years agoI specifically added this empty space to match how it looked like in old layout although the issue is that it doesn't scale with window size but yeah, I'll look into fixing it and then adding an option to remove it alongside the option to hide avatars on home page. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16420029, 4 years agoVery good extension. But one problem has appeared recently: the drop down menu is trying to display the options in a wider format than the menu allows, so half the menu is cut off and inaccessible. I've turned each of my other extensions off individually and checked to see if one of them was interfering, but nothing worked. Here's a link to an image of what the drop down menu is doing.

posted 4 years agoThanks for letting me know about that issue. I'll try to have it fixed soon. For now as a workaround you can restore the extension back to the toolbar, make some changes in its settings and hide it again within the 'More tools...' button. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16188753, 4 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Mephiston, 4 years agoIts decent enough, but it WILL NOT SAVE the number of videos in the main youtube screen. I set it to five, and it always defaults to 6, no matter how many times i reinstall the addon, or restart firefox. So just be aware it does have its issues.
Developer response
posted 4 years agoSome people noted that using the Refresh Firefox feature solved this issue. I have no idea why it happens as the extension's settings are simply stored in local storage but I'll see about moving it to extension API instead. - Rated 2 out of 5by baruteas, 4 years agoWell,
I gave a try to this extension, hoping to have the good experience of
old YouTube.
However, other than some visual changes, i didn't noticed a difference
in performance. YouTube still sucks the same..
Slow loading with high cpu & memory rates, 2-3 sec to go full screen
and vice versa, showing black during this transition, etc etc..
There is also something very irritating: it doesn't retain its settings. If i
close all YT pages and later on i go again on a YT page, i find all settings
to have been reset to defaults.
I'm afraid we have to say bye bye to old, good YouTube. For ever..
The exact same as new Facebook.
It looks like they compete each other, which one of the 2 will be the worst.. - Rated 5 out of 5by lightbeam, 4 years agoWorks amazing! It's really nostalgic seeing YouTube without all the ugly oversized rounded icons again!
I do have one feature request (If possible): Could you add an option to have the "Your Channel" button on the left side of the screen like it used to be?
Edit: Oh well, that's alright. Still a great extension!Developer response
posted 4 years agoI'll look into it, thanks!
Edit: It's possible but, to keep it short, it can't be done easily. As this feature can already be accessed quickly via Avatar button, implementing it properly proves to be not feasible. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dakart, 4 years ago
