Return YouTube UI is a Chrome extension designed to bring back the classic YouTube interface you loved before the platform shifted to a rounded, circular design. By injecting JavaScript, CSS, and HTML into YouTube pages, this extension replicates the old look, offering a more angular and traditional user experience. Users can customize their preferences through the popup interface, ensuring a personalized touch.

The extension is privacy-conscious, altering only the appearance without sending or sharing any user data. Regular updates continue to refine the restoration of the classic UI. When you wish to revert to the current YouTube look, simply remove the extension and reload the page. For developers and enthusiasts, the source code is openly available on GitHub at https://github.com/42null/Return-YouTube-UI, inviting contributions and forks.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Return Youtube UI requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Return Youtube UI may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
