2024-12-13 Soul The most recent youtube UI updates have REALLY been grinding my gears, so I found this beauty and OH MAN has it been a breath of fresh air. I love the ability to peer into the past with the original yt layouts as well as simply flashing back a couple years into the past for more modern yet still beloved layouts. It's everything I ever could have asked for and then more. My only complaint is that the layout seems to be just a *little* broken in very small ways- buttons on the side bar have buttons missing and offcentered text in the 2019 layout, and sometimes when switching to an older layout the video details, comments, and recommended videos simply don't load at all. I'm also using the addons "Youtube search fixer", Sponsorblock, and an adblocker, so it's possible that this could simply be because some of the addons are not fully compatible, but I'm not totally sure of this yet. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing future updates! It's definitely an addon to keep your eyes on, especially if you're like me and you hate the minimalist, modernist UI that every website and their mother seems to be adopting these days and pushing without bothering for any form of user feedback and critique.

2024-10-19 Firefox user 18644137 The custom Tube addon is broken in some layout versions because the YouTube logo is turquoise. Why is that? please fix this thing ok?!

2024-08-25 Eva Good app, but due to rare updates at the moment 08/25/2024 there are a lot of bugs. (For example, the search page is not displayed correctly in the 2013-2021 layers). I hope it will be fixed.
