- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19458972, 5 days agoI'm not even kidding, I made a Firefox account just to review this. Never have I enjoyed a Firefox extension so much. First off, for nostalgic purposes, if you grew up watching Youtube as a kid from 2010 to 2013 like I did you should feel right at home. It's nearly an exact copy and actually implements some of the better modern features too. I have been DREAMING of an extension that converts modern Youtube from the crappy pre-2017 redesign to the original. And it's fantastic. Most importantly, PERFORMANCE IS INCREDIBLE. I have no idea how they did it. Performance shot up by at least 50% on my gaming PC, and around 30 to 40% on my old Macbook Pro. It's actually usable on older machines now. No need for Invidious which is hit or miss. The website is snappy now.
We need more extensions like these for major websites. It is incredible. I miss how fast the old web used to be.
If you are looking for a drastic speed increase for Youtube and an (arguably) better layout with some nostalgia, install this. Now. It's amazing. Devs, never stop working on this. You guys are awesome. - Rated 5 out of 5by JulioGouvea200, 11 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jare, a month agoAbsolutely goated add-on. I thought it was nigh impossible, or at least extremely tedious, to do this (and perhaps it was lol).
YouTube's massive redesign in 2017 was severely disappointing and I've been dying to find a functioning add-on for Mozilla that reverts YT back to any of its former UIs.
More than three large thumbnails fit on the homepage at a time, lack of shorts, generally more functional, etc!

- Rated 5 out of 5by rayci, 3 months agoThis is an absolutely amazing extension/add-on without it I would find navigating YouTube a nightmare! It has a few bugs here and there but it's definitely worth it and it always gets updated!

- Rated 5 out of 5by deeply, a year agoFaster 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.Developer response
posted 3 months agoThank you for the feedback. End Screen Boxes are a planned feature, but we do not have an estimate. - Rated 5 out of 5by kwan, a year ago
