so 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 :)

It's good, but it broke.

was working very well up until recently where it seems to have broken my search bar so it no longer does the little predictive search thing or show my previous searches

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.

Awesome, though dark mode is a little broken.

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.

I really like this add-on! I would've gave it 5 stars but sometimes it gets buggy. But i am sure it will be fixed in the future!

otherwise 5/5 addon, but the "related videos" title texts on the watch page are cut off making them nearly impossible to use and one has to either hover their cursor on top, or rely on the video thumbnail to know what video it is.
and it does not help even if i use 4K screen on 100% scale, all i get is loads of empty space on the right size of the screen and titles still cutting off to a three dots.

A great add-on. It does work on Android if in desktop mode. Please consider adding some simple features for mobile mode, like forcing subtitles on. Thank you!

very nice i can play emily is away and watch stuff on my second monitor with full immersion

wonder if people had second monitors back then?

Cool addon. Would appreciate if it would be catching chat as well.
looks hella weird for chat to still have the round corners while everyhting else is back to rectangles, hence 4/5. will gladly give 5 when that can be addressed

Size of thumbs on homepage scaling to reoslution (within the selected amount of videos per row would be sweet as well

Not trying to be overly nitpicky but all of the above would make a pretty cool addon actually great

I 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.

I love this extension. I use 2009 youtube, like 24/7 now. I just have some issues with the 2009 layout.
1. FIXED
2. Id like to at least play around with the star ratings, I know theyre not available anymore but it would be really cool if 5 stars was programmed to equal a like for YouTube and 1 star a dislike for YouTube. IK this is probably not possible but itd be really cool.
3. The autoplay button glitches the playbar layout. It just doesnt belong in 2009 YouTube, so itd be nice if it was removable

Overall, thats it. I love this extension very much!

Theater mode is buggy with 2012 layout.

getting questions Marks for views on Live streams but finished videos show ok.. also the sub count can be very dark depending on dark theme.. maybe a option to alter the text color would be a handy option..

Works but has some issues, for example the like buttons can go behind the description and views overlap the title in 2012 style.
Otherwise good job and I'm looking forward for some updates!
