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.... Show more

The part of the player that you're seeing when watching a video is not due to the player being too big, this is a feature that can be disabled called, "Fake bar", and can be toggled via the extension's settings under, "Toggle the fake bar that displays below a video when not active" -- very straight-forward on what it does. Past versions of the YouTube player had a similar feature, which is why there are other developers who try to make this feature return and why it's in PlayerTube. edit: Just fixed the issue with the toggle for fake bar not working, this will be published soon

It's a bit broken, especially the 2006 player. In any case, it's better than a modern, flat player :)
