## Review summary

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

- 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

- Updates can cause UI regressions, especially around Shorts and shelf layouts.
- Performance issues on some pages, including unexpected auto-scrolling and occasional page freezes.
