Here's how you can get back the old classic look on youtube.
First keep in mind that it's working so far.
This requires installing an addon/extension for your browser that will run "userscripts" automatically. A list of them from https://greasyfork.org/en
You may even just run it in google chrome's development console.
- Chrome: Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey
- Firefox: Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey
- Safari: Tampermoney
Install one of those, and find where to add a new script.
Exactly how to do this on each of the extensions I can't say, but the steps when using Violentmonkey are:
- Open its dashboard
- Go to "Installed scripts"
- In the top-left corner, click "New"
- Once you've got a new script, paste this code in:
| // ==UserScript== // @name Youtube old design // @namespace 4c5725cd7d4b94b6f1784e759d5a43fbdd917971 // @version 0.1 // @description Activates the old YT design without messing with your other settings // @author /u/AyrA_ch // @match https://www.youtube.com/* // @match http://www.youtube.com/* // @match https://youtube.com/* // @match http://youtube.com/* // @grant none // @run-at document-start // ==/UserScript== (function () { var getDesignCookie = function (cookie) { //Find existing preferences var prefs = cookie.split("; ").filter(function (v) { return v.indexOf("PREF=") === 0; })[0]; //No preferences, return new ones with design setting if (!prefs) { console.log("prefs not set in cookie"); return "PREF=f6=8"; } //Process all settings var entries = prefs.substr(5).split('&'); var set = false; for (var i = 0; i < entries.length; i++) { if (entries[i].indexOf("f6=") === 0) { set = true; //Set the old design flag var value = +entries[i].substr(3); if ((value & 8) === 0) { console.log("Activating old design and reloading..."); entries[i] = "f6=" + (value | 8); window.setTimeout(location.reload.bind(location,true),100); } else{ console.log("Old design already active. Doing nothing"); } } } //Design flag setting doesn't exists. Adding it instead if (!set) { console.log("Activating old design and reloading..."); entries.push("f6=8"); window.setTimeout(location.reload.bind(location,true),100); } //Build cookie return "PREF=" + entries.join('&'); }; //Update cookie document.cookie = getDesignCookie(document.cookie) + ";domain=.youtube.com;path=/"; })(); /* LICENSE: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
