Not only it works perfectly, the other YouTube extensions I use are also fully compatible AND my Stylus custom style is also fully compatible. Amazing.
Any chance it gets updated to work outside of youtube? (Embedded stuff).
Does not work as of March 21 2026
I have been using the extension for about 5 months now without complaint but recently there is this bug that causes every video to have no comment section available. It just shows the "Comments are turned off" text but once I disable it and reload the page the comments come back and once I turn it back on the comments dont show again. Hoping for a quick fix on this
Работает 50 на 50, то работает, то нет.
Мне все понравилось и полностью вернул старый дизайн. Я довольна
Thank God
I'm in love <3 , Thank you for who ever made this extension!
Can you guys port this to Firefox? (Not userscript)
It's not a complete revert of the 2025 ui update, but it is still so SO MUCH BETTER. I encourage you guys to make a full youtube pre 2025 ui extension. What the Hell is YouTube thinking
