YH T (ID: 000000d7643b8fb0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/20/2024 There an update for latest crash, good job creator.

Ty S (ID: 0000004648e56e36) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/28/2024 This extension did indeed do what it promoted and said what it will do. But sadly, the new UI and interface YouTube just added in the new update completely broke the extension and now it's just a complete jumbled mess lol. I'll bump this review back up to 5 stars once the Dev updates this extension and gets' it working again. 5/10/2023 Edit: Everything works now, but there's just two problems. I'm unable to see dislikes, & the top bar remains dark on Theater Mode when in Light Mode. 3/27/2024: it's been breaking constantly over the past few months with little updates removing some bugs, but adding some more in so i'm gonna have to take this down to 3 stars for now until its fully functional. half of the features just straight up don't work anymore even after a reinstall so idk if this is my cup of tea anymore.

Matthew Roughton (ArbestRiAgain) (ID: 000000fed16b5145) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/22/2024 CustomTube is better, but if you want to disable that ugly new watch UI and you use uBlock Origin add this into your custom filter: youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.kevlar_watch_grid, false)

Lestrade (ID: 00000037d507b0fc) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/15/2023 Muito bom, mas deveria existir a opção de mudar a epóca do tema e deixar a aparencia dos vídeos e a barra de progresso no modo mais antigo.
