Fucking google did it again, they "fixed" something that never broken. This time they make thumbnails way too big even with 70% zoom
I read this is a new "feature" they've been testing for at least 2 years now on some users unfortunately my time has come, So you might not seeing this but you will in the future
There's a ublock filter you can use to make them small again. I'll post the code once I get home.

I have it set up for 6 per row but you can change the number to be whatever you want.
I love you, ty
Works great, unlike the one I found on Reddit posted about a year ago.
Thanks!
You're doing good work.
I got tired of large thumbnails long ago. For anyone already using Enhancer for Youtube, you can add the following to the custom script section:
/* Add to Enhancer for YouTube's Custom script section */
;(function () {
document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('style')).innerHTML =
'ytd-rich-grid-row{display:inline-block;width:min-content;}div#contents.ytd-rich-grid-row{margin:0;}' +
'ytd-rich-item-renderer{width:32rem !important;margin:1rem;}' +
'ytd-video-meta-block[rich-meta] #metadata-line.ytd-video-meta-block{font-size:1.5rem !important;line-height:initial;}' +
'#video-title.ytd-rich-grid-media{font-size:1.75rem;line-height:initial;}'
})()
Any chance you've attempted or figured out how to block "premiering soon" posts? Useless garbage, YouTube is not for scheduling
not really, but yeah I hate those too, especially channels that schedule a premiere not hours, but X days from now. What's the point of showing it in my subscriptions tab if I can't watch it? And by the time I can, the video will already be buried by newer videos.
They also threw shorts at the top of the subscription section in the TV app recently. As if anyone wants to watch shorts on their TV. They don't care though, it pushes shorts which is what they want to push right now.
I don't know why I'd go to youtube to watch tiktok reposts tbh
you know those small pictures we call „thumbnails“ well because … thumb … nail … and they are all made for exactly that size.
Let’s make em yuge
Here's your occasional reminder to use FreeTube on your PC or Newpipe on your phone
And SmartTube on your Android TV
Anyone else have the problem with newpipe that it simply doesn't work when connected to wifi?
I don't, I believe one of the piracy instances might be able to help you with the issue better than I
It's always been super spotty for me. Sometimes it doesn't work for a few hours, sometimes for a few days. It usually ends up working again after a bit. I ended up moving to mostly using yt-dlp instead, as it's more consistent. I don't know of a more reliable phone-option tho :(
I recently switched to FreeTube and am WAY happier, plus I can make everything purple.
I want them to synchronize my watch history so that each one doesn't keep listing the videos I already watched in the other.
The whole point of these apps is that they are local, independent from algorithms and YT's surveillance. If you want to synchronize something, you'll have to do it manually.
Does anyone have any iOS alternatives recommendation ? I'm trying to get the family away from YT too, but they all have iOS for reasons
someone in a group I know asked the same a few weeks ago and the general reply was "No"
iOS ain't friendly to any kind of 3rd party app
I will use it when google decided to block my adblocker, but for now I kinda need to use yt with my account and I like "mixed playlist" I discovered many great music with it
Revanced has a patched yt music app. No ads, background play, and I use the super mix playlist a lot.
Fo those that prefer Spotify, check out spotube. Available for phone and Google TV.
I got this a while ago, it made me find the css variable and set it back. I have 5 across now, but could set it higher if I wanted.
You still get a few gaps where the shorts would be, if I didn't block those as well.
Could you explain how to do this for the people (like me) who don't know how I'd go about having the css changed automatically
There are some other ways posted in the comments, but I used an Extension called Stylus and added the following to youtube.com:
@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.youtube.com/") {
ytd-rich-item-renderer{
--ytd-rich-grid-items-per-row: 5;
}
}
Why can't they make mobile UI design and desktop UI design separate?
The reality is that more and more web users are phone and tablet only.
Phones and tablets are consumer devices and most users are consumers rather than creators. This is especially true outside the Anglo-sphere and in developing countries.
All this to say it's going to get worse and may never get better.
If you haven't had enough reasons to use https://freetubeapp.io/, you seem to have found another one now
My issue with this is what others consider its strength.
I WANT a for you page. I WANT it to be synced across devices.
You can use this extension if you're affected
so many fixes, this is great
Another good one is youtube enhancer extension.
And is it just me but does fucking everybody get that lofi girl channel reccomended?
I got it once in a while
I use Control Panel for YouTube. Has a lot of features. Don't know how trustworthy it is. It has only 11k Users and 49 ratings on Firefox but I use it for some time now. YouTube rolled that out for me for weeks and when I got it, I didn't found a script to add to uBlock or so, when I got this bs.
I solved this problem by turning off watch history.
I am once again recommending freetube
Posy is my spirit animal.
This happened to me too and the Ublock filter fixed it. I dread to think of the day YouTube is made to be completely unfixable.
People gave Posy a lot of shit for his AI video.
Based music taste. 10/10
Thanks, I've been enjoying NK and Synthwave musics a lot lately
interesting kustomisation
Gotta love Plasma for allowing me to do it without much fuss
I use dearrow so I don't see custom thumbnails, just screen cap of a random time code in the video and I view YouTube through my subscription box only and have watch history off so the home page isn't even available to me.
