Youtube's large thumbnail layout change
Hello, I am brand new to github. Just signed up 5 minutes ago just to communicate with you specifically. I have no idea if I'm doing this the right way or if you'll even ever see this message. But I just wanted to ask, is there any help for us with the awful new youtube layout since early this year? I understand if you don't want to open up such a big can of worms but I've seen that it can be fixed with a single line of code with a css addon like stylish. So I'm just wondering if there would be a way to add that line to improvetube myself or if you will working on this. Thanks for all your great work with this wonderful addon, it helps make the youtube experience so much better.
hi and thanks! @suzanwrite this? #2974
check this two-line css+toggle feature: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/commit/053c9eb29243441438cad720501250c1ba7f1ebe https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/commit/87f16c5ef5789428171fbf448c4fbd8f8ff54762
You can infact add such feature here anytime for many people to enjoy. (And with github or git installed one can sync all changes conveniently)
technically, that attribute [it-hide-ai-summary='true'] is based on some JS loop writing all settings there. Like other extensions, we run that for convenience and immediate results (else injecting CSS with JS first takes hardly more code and can be more efficient. Especially if it was a rare feature with a lot of CSS). In future I wonder to crowd-source and advance uBlock origin rules.
Hello, @suzanwrite, did you try to go to General > Thumbnails per Row?
If the problem is these large thumbnails on YT (which is really annoying), this recent feature should help you.
I also didn't really like the new larger thumbnails. Just merged a option to change the size that works well with thumbnails per row. I like 4 per row size small on my 1440p monitor. The size option is right below thumbnails per row.

That option has zero effect on my system. I still get the massive thumbnails. Sadly it just doesn't work.
I have to instead use the fix from https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1b40hra/youtube_fix_customizations_4_videos_per_row/
