Bring back the full grid of video thumbnails!
Are you tired of YouTube showing you only 3–4 huge thumbnails in your subscriptions feed?
Restore the full grid of video thumbnails:
– Hide or collapse Shorts
– Remove distractions like “YouTube Playables”
– Show up to 8 video thumbnails per row
All the keyboard shortcuts are also available when you watch YouTube Shorts:
– 0–9 to jump to 0%, 10%, … 90% of the video.
– J and L to go back or forward by 10 seconds.
– , (comma) and . (period) to go back or forward by a single frame.
– C opens the comments panel.
– W opens the Short video in the regular video player.
Autoplay next Short:
At the end of a YouTube Short, start playing the next Short automatically, or loop back to the beginning as YouTube does by default.
Channel information:
While watching a video, you can press Y to show some details about the channel that posted the video, such as their biography, links, etc.
Configure the regular video player to your liking:
– Remove the “+5, +10…” indicators over the video every time you press arrow keys.
– Remove the “Watch Next” overlays that can clutter the end of a video.
