## Description

YouTube ReturnBoxes is a Chrome extension designed to bring back the classic YouTube aesthetics, eliminating the modern rounded and material design elements. It enhances your YouTube experience by providing better thumbnails, improved descriptions, a distinct red subscribe button that also highlights other key buttons, and an improved subscribe popup.

The extension also features a refined search box, restores normal font titles, and uses transparent backgrounds on standard buttons to mimic the old layout. It supports dark mode and integrates seamlessly with YTDL Crop (YouTube Downloader by Addoncrop), offering a fixed and themed download button. If you prefer YouTube's nostalgic design with enhanced functionality, YouTube ReturnBoxes is the perfect choice.
