en PLEAAAASE fix the bugs with the even older layouts. when i'm watching older videos i like to use the layout that would have been active at the time of the upload but the layouts are currently REALLY broken. :( better than ytredux though.

en good but older layouts homepages are broken which is not a problem for me since i use 2016, also the homepage profile pictures are round (also the channel page profile pictures is round too), and the dislike button is cut off. almost perfect 9.5/10

en honestly i like this extension better than yt redux, but this hasnt been updated since February and some of the layouts are broken 2012 layout's home screen being REALLYY messy and clearly broken, the like and dislike buttons not working etc i also think the classic style should also be applied to yt shorts or just COMPLETELY remove it since it kinda gets in the way T_T

en So it way WAY better than yt redux (i used redux it for like 1 or 2 years by now lol and i think it broke), LIKE WAY BETTER, but bad things/bugs is it has a rounded search (not very good), i dont think the upload icon/text is supposed to be that seperated between notif icon, dislike button is slightly cut off and cut of guide button and maybe more but overall EXTREMELY GOOD EXTENSION, a bit buggy, but still, HEAVILY resemble older theme Also if anybody dosent know which theme to pick, i would recommend 2013 or 2012 to 2016, not because of buggyness, mostly because esthetics.

en The extension is great!!!! Better than youtube redux because this has more customization options. IT EVEN LETS YOU CHANGE THE VIDEO PROGRESS BAR WHAT the only suggestions are to also apply the classic layout to shorts, channel pages, and youtube studio, and fix the layout because it appears very broken
