How it works

This extension allows you to modify the 'PREF' cookie, which is responsible for the theme settings, and open YouTube in a non-dynamic manner, making it possible for the extension to change the URL autonomously.

revert-youtube-ui's Issues

Can't add videos to the queue, Chrome

If I am trying to add a new video to the queue, then the queued video just starts playing right away.

No longer works

It seems youtubes new change nullified the solution.

doesnt change the ui

help me i have followed the steps told but it does not work

i am using opera GX browser

Stopped working

It stopped working this morning.

Theme for YouTube reverts to Device Theme instead of preset default

It's not an issue if you set your device theme (at least on windows 11) to dark mode.

just doesnt work

i disabled all other extensions and nothing happens, and gives errors saying manifest version 2 is deprecated also middle clicking a video opens multiple

it doest work

it just changes my theme to white

Ignoring preview progress bar.

When you press on preview progress bar on the main page, script will redirect you anyway.

(This bar)

it can be fixed just by adding this line of code to the content.js

if (e.target.classList.contains('ytp-scrubber-pull-indicator')) return;

~~sorry for my bad English~~

Firefox?

Will there be an extension for Firefox?

I was using the PREF workaround since the new UI started (I posted the fix on Reddit), but it reverted and no longer works as of an hour ago. The PREF keeps going back to the previous.

Can't go back to search page results (Firefox)

Just to give a head's up, If you click on a video from search results and try to back button back to the results page, it seems to just go back to the last video you watched or the previous on the list. If I click the back button again, to get past that other video, it takes me back to the homepage. I have to click and hold the back button to list the previous pages and get back to he results from there.

Other than that, it does the job.

Middle click to open new tab

Hi there, thanks for making this extension.

Currently when trying to middle click to open the video in a new tab, cancels the tab from opening and just loads it in the current one.

Changing

if (e.button > || e.altKey) return;

if (e.button >= 1 || e.altKey) return;

Resolves this.

Also the extension seems to work fine without the cookie function, and doesn't result in the white flashbang from the refresh on the first load. What's the exact purpose of setting this cookie?

Video is cutoff at the bottom

Hello, when im reverting back to the old layout part of the Video is cut off at the bottom (see screenshots) , this does not happen in Fullscreen, if you need additional information im gladly provinde the needed info.
