YouTube Thumbnail Size Grid Controller: Your YouTube Experience, Your Rules.
Take complete command of your YouTube experience. This powerful extension transforms YouTube’s chaotic layout into a clean, customizable dashboard that perfectly matches your viewing style. Whether you want a dense, information-rich grid or a minimalist, distraction-free feed, the choice is finally yours.

Key Features:

Ultimate Grid Control:

Custom Video Columns: Adjust your feed to display anywhere from 1 to 16 videos per row.

Full-Width Layout: Automatically removes wasted whitespace on the sides of the screen, utilizing your monitor's full potential.

Independent Shorts Density: Set a specific number of columns for the Shorts shelf (up to 9) to save space, or sync it perfectly with your main video grid.

Advanced Content Filtering (Decluttering):

Remove Distractions: Clean up your feed by hiding specific sections like Shorts, Mixes, News, Movies, and Live Streams.

Custom Blocklist: New! Take control of the algorithm. Enter specific keywords (e.g., "Sports," "Reaction," "Gaming") to automatically hide any shelf or video section containing those terms.

Hide Channel Icons: Remove the avatar icons below thumbnails for a cleaner, text-focused look.

Time-Based Focus & Dimming:

Filter by Date: Keep your feed fresh by filtering out videos older than 1 day, 3 days, or 1 week.

Smart Dimming: Don't want to hide older videos completely? Use the Visibility Slider to "dim" them to your preferred opacity. They remain in the background and instantly brighten when you hover over them.

Quick Access Toolbar: A convenient toolbar embedded directly in the YouTube header lets you toggle time filters and visibility settings instantly without opening the main menu.

Streamlined UI & Performance:

Compact Sidebar Mode: Forces the sidebar into a "Solid Flyout" state—keeping the mini-guide visible while the full menu floats over content, saving massive screen real estate.

Disable Hover Previews: Stop videos from auto-playing or animating when you move your mouse over them.

Real-Time Updates: All changes apply instantly as you adjust them. No refreshing required.

Theme Support: A modern, professional interface that seamlessly adapts to Dark and Light modes.
