User Reviews

Users broadly praise Youtube List View for making the YouTube subscriptions page usable again, offering a preferred list view and extensive customization. It’s seen as essential and responsive to YouTube's frequent changes. However, recurring drawbacks include Shorts becoming intrusive or unhideable, updates that regress the UI (especially Shorts/shelf layouts), and performance hiccups like auto-scrolling and occasional freezes.
Pros
  • Restores usability to YouTube's subscriptions page.
  • Provides a clean list view instead of a grid view, which many users prefer.
  • Offers a broad set of customization options to tailor the layout and UX.
  • Adapts to YouTube changes with timely updates to keep the extension working.
Cons
  • Shorts cannot be hidden and their layout becomes intrusive on the page.
  • Updates can cause UI regressions, especially around Shorts and shelf layouts.
  • Performance issues on some pages, including unexpected auto-scrolling and occasional page freezes.

The add-on is not working. It is the only active add-on, but the displayed video list does not change. What am I doing wrong? for example: youtube.com/channel/UCmI53klvxwFcbl9I-2Nnu4g/videos

Descriptions don't work for me on the latest version even when enabled (not sure how else to tell the dev), but five stars anyways because it gets rid of the cursed grid view.

Works great with plenty of customization options. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the description feature to work. I tried disabling and re enabling it, as well as reinstalling, but no success. Version 1.627.

Is Youtube List View Safe?

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.

Youtube List View requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
