CustomTube - Restore the Old YouTube Layout by lightbeam
Review by Azure Greatheart
Rated 4 out of 5
by Azure Greatheart, 2 years agoI got this because Youtube broke the video player for me, and while it fixes the issue I got it for (along with several extra features), the player does not display the thumbnail for videos that do not autoplay (i.e. when a video is opened in a new tab, or when the page is refreshed). I know thumbnails are primarily made to entice people to click on a video, but having a video that did not autoplay default to the frame of the video I was on instead of the thumbnail is really dull. The odd thing is that thumbnails ARE displayed on the glitched pages that have this add-on partially installed, which were open when I installed this add-on. Anyway, an option to display thumbnails on the video player itself would be nice.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19521345, 9 days agoits good but the new yt ui completely broke this
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10388193, 11 days ago(Edited) Broken at the moment of writing this review BUT here's to hoping it gets an update... It does make Youtube more ugly which means I am enticed to spend less time on the platform which I like.
Edit: Use the 2019 Layout, it works - Rated 1 out of 5by Ichi, 12 days agoHELL NAW! USED IT FOR FIVE MINUTES AND IMMEDIATELY, I DELETED IT.
IT DOESN'T SUPPORT THE NEW REDESIGN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH - Rated 1 out of 5by Max, 15 days agoThis extension is very broken: the video UI, logo (why is it blue?), description, video icons, video titles (they're very big) and more. It seems that this extension hasn't been updated in a very long time and that might be the cause.

- Rated 5 out of 5by SpaceXplorer, 4 months agoReally sad that it's deprecated (look at the github) but it still works better than the replacement userscript that the dev has moved on to.
- Rated 5 out of 5by niuxen, 6 months agogreat, I cannot stand the large film minuatures youtube makes, this extension helped me to make them smaller with more icons on the home page
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18623341, 6 months agoSince YouTube changed to 3 massive thumbnails per row, this extension has been the answer. It lets you set the thumbnail size and number of thumbnails per row, or just revert to an older YouTube layout. Love it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by disasterofsorts, 6 months agoThis works... But only for the default layout (the 2017 one). Changing any settings, does absolutely nothing and no amount of refreshing will change the layout to the one you've selected.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18835116, 8 months agoGood but needs a little bit of graphic design tuning. Also I still see videos made after the year I set YouTube to which kills the aesthetic a lot.

- Rated 4 out of 5by zesty sause, 9 months agoso this is pretty good with a lot of the designs back to the good old classic youtube but a couple problems that occurred were
in the late 2009 edition there is a lot of overlay with the buttons such as the notifications button, create button, subscriptions and history buttons overlay onto the youtube layout
the search bar is broken and needs fixing
ok another issue i encountered was that in the same old design the dislike button is cut in half
that is all the current issues i have but if i encounter any more ill make sure to include them in this review :) - Rated 1 out of 5by oldsitesarebetter, 10 months agoits shit it dosent change the search bar its buggy and much more
