Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
PlayerTube is a free browser extension that is used for editing and changing up the style of the current YouTube player to a more older (and better) look.
PlayerTube provides lots of features & options that can change the YouTube player's functionality and/or look, each can be enabled or disabled from it's extension menu.
Users can customize the style of their YouTube player and share it across the web for others to use with custom theming. PlayerTube provides a whole page dedicated to it's custom themes feature so users can jump right in without looking up a YouTube tutorial.
Latest update (v1.11):
* Fixed CSS relating to things that tie to fullscreen (`.ytp-big-mode` has been changed to `.ytp-fullscreen`)
* Was also stated in #73, but I had noticed it before this issue.

More compact. Stops another extension from cluttering out and hiding the volume slider.
Mostly works well, but as of late it has caused severe lag on YouTube, so I had to disable it. I hope this can be fixed soon!

Тема 2006 + customtube с темой 2008 + расширение на возвращение дизлайков + расширение на возвращение аннотации это конечно мощь рекомендую такое сочетание
It's good, but a major flaw is that in my case, it seems that the player is a little too high and therefore when you watch a video a small part of the top sticks out. This then means that you see the video progressing live, which I'm quite sure is not how it went in the past (unless the dev can correct me on this and this was the intention). Even before the bar moves down when watching a video, you see the bar is a little too high and there's a gap between the video and the bar at its bottom. Would be great if there's a fix for it, or if the dev can fix it. EDIT: Indeed, it appears older youtube actually had this feature and I just did not remember after going through footage of it. It seems sadly the advice given on toggling the fake bar does not change anything for me...? But it seems the extension is largely doing its job, so thank you dev.
OMG VERY GREAT! :D But i hope you fix it cuz when i applied the customtube, the end of the video player line is a bit broken, and so are some of the button, even without customtube it's still happening :( but still great!
It's a bit broken, especially the 2006 player. In any case, it's better than a modern, flat player :)
Thank you for such an amazing extension. Works great. Will it be posted in Opera store?
It's a good site, but I am just not understanding the directions on how to add like the 2010 yt style??? none of it is making sense to me
