PlayerTube is a free browser extension that is used for editing and changing up the style of the current YouTube player, to a more older (and better) look. PlayerTube has a good amount of features that can be either enabled or disabled from its menu. More than that, users can customize the style of their player and share it across the web for others to use.

Latest update (v1.8): This update shouldn't have taken so long, but I've working on other stuff recently!!

Renamed the 2012 theme to 2013 & 2011 to 2012 because of this image (that's new to me).
Change of placement for the Change year of Player settings option.
Fixed the "TrustedTypes" issue with the resize script.
Added Project V3 support, somewhat. Only the 2013 & 2012 theme & custom themes are supported. As of currently. There is no manual configuration needed for this extension.
Added #28 -- "[ Feature Request ] add a toggle for the custom loading icon" under Toggle the loading spinner [...].
A lot of CSS improvements.

Тема 2006 + customtube с темой 2008 + расширение на возвращение дизлайков + расширение на возвращение аннотации это конечно мощь рекомендую такое сочетание

It's good, but a major flaw is that in my case, it seems that the player is a little too high and therefore when you watch a video a small part of the top sticks out. This then means that you see the video progressing live, which I'm quite sure is not how it went in the past (unless the dev can correct me on this and this was the intention). Even before the bar moves down when watching a video, you see the bar is a little too high and there's a gap between the video and the bar at its bottom. Would be great if there's a fix for it, or if the dev can fix it. EDIT: Indeed, it appears older youtube actually had this feature and I just did not remember after going through footage of it. It seems sadly the advice given on toggling the fake bar does not change anything for me...? But it seems the extension is largely doing its job, so thank you dev.
