Control Panel for YouTube

This extension really resolves almost everything that I complained about Youtube. Well done.

So there are options to set the number of videos in a row on the home page, the options don’t show correctly in the extension, so you have to guess the option to sho “5 videos per row” for example. If you figure that out, then it breaks if you want to show shorts as well, so it goes back to showing 3 videos per row regardless of your settings. For an app that you have to pay for, it is unreliable.

The main reason that I decided to try this extension was to (1) force all YT videos into theater mode by default, and more importantly (2) stretch those videos to take up the entire viewport (the full window Safari window, but not full screen). Happy to say that this is the first extension I’ve found which does both perfectly. But then I stated exploring all of the other capabilities, and this is where I was truly amazed. Happy that I can now remove shorts from Home, remove music playlists from home, remove videos I’ve already watched (a certain % of) from home, and display full video titles (non-truncated) on home. Probably a lot more that I’ll find through continued experimentation.
