Nicer for YouTube: Hide Shorts, Grid Layout, No AI Dubs

Set YouTube's layout, hide Shorts and clutter, and keep original audio and titles. No tracking, and it only ever talks to YouTube.

Make YouTube look the way you want, by clicking on it. No tracking. No analytics. No accounts. Your settings stay in your browser, and the extension only ever talks to YouTube. CLICK TO CUSTOMIZE Every setting opens in a side panel beside YouTube, so you see each change as you make it, and you can search for any setting by name. Or open the visual editor, click anything on the page, and adjust it right there. The settings you change most are one click away in the toolbar popup. CHOOSE HOW MANY VIDEOS YOU SEE • Show 1 to 12 videos per row on home, subscriptions and channel pages • Shrink thumbnails and adjust the space between videos • Turn search results into a grid MAKE SHORTS BEHAVE • Show Shorts as regular videos, shrink their shelves to one compact row, or hide them everywhere • Open Shorts in the normal player, with the usual progress bar and controls REPLACE CUSTOM THUMBNAILS Swap custom thumbnails for a frame from the video itself. This is optional and off by default. HIDE WHAT YOU DON'T WANT • Comments, recommended videos, live chat and the topic bar on home • Watched videos, playlists, mixes, members-only videos and shelves on home • End screens: the cards during a video and the wall of videos at the end • Channel avatars, and Explore and Premium in the sidebar • Videos from channels you choose, picked right on the page • The whole home feed, optionally opening Subscriptions instead • Share, Save and Thanks, AI summaries and Ask, live streams, the Join and Download buttons, merch and tickets, and profile photos in comments • Create, notifications and voice search in the top bar, and More from YouTube in the sidebar • View, like and subscriber counts PLAY VIDEOS YOUR WAY • Turn off autoplay, so the next video doesn't start by itself • Start every video at your speed • Always open videos in theater mode • Open channels on their Videos tab, and keep channel trailers from playing by themselves LOAD LESS • Stop videos playing when you hover over them • Load comments only when you ask for them SEE MORE • Show full titles instead of cutting them off • Open video descriptions automatically • Calm titles written in capitals CHANGE THE DETAILS • Choose a font, and set the size of titles and of channel, views and date • Set the progress bar's height and colors, and the scrubber's size and shape KEEP VIDEOS IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE • Play the original audio instead of YouTube's AI dubs, or instead of any dub • Show a video's original title and description instead of YouTube's translation, optionally in lists too START FROM A PRESET Try Dense grid, Focus, Classic, Cinema, Fast or Detailed, and undo in one click. Share your setup with anyone as a short code. WRITE YOUR OWN CSS For anything the settings don't cover, add your own CSS in the visual editor. It's applied after everything else, and can only load files from YouTube's own servers. PRIVACY The extension only runs on www.youtube.com. It stores your settings using Chrome's own storage, and sends nothing to its developers or anyone else. With the optional video frames setting on, it loads images from YouTube's own image server, and with original titles in lists on, it asks YouTube for each title shown.
