Summary

Project VORAPIS is an userscript that loads "https://vorapis.pages.dev/#/"'s JS app as a normal script on YouTube and other related pages in order to recreate the 2013 YT UI. It only works on www.youtube.com and does not leave space for any exploit nor on YouTube nor on any Google service. As also said in the license, all rights are reserved for Google for their HTML/CSS/JS structures and code. Credit is given to Project VORAPIS only for the actual application.

you need to remove public subscribers and show total sub count on channels and add new layouts including 2013 and 2007 layouts

Faster than both Rehike and Polymer, very functional, brings back lots of features that are gone from current YouTube, while having the ability to use a few modern features like Community posts. There's a few minor gripes I have, like how some caption formats don't display properly and how theres no end screens, although those would probably be hard to implement so it's no big deal. Some of the links are broken which is a bit of a bother but its not dealbreaking, and I legitimately like browsing on V3 more than I like browsing on the actual YouTube layout. Would recommend to anyone who's feeling nostalgic, hates modern YouTube, or finds the current layout slow.
