    I used to use a collection of userscripts to make my youtube experience better, but now that improvedtube only runs on youtube I can switch back to that
    another one I rec is unhook, that allows you to completely remove certain parts of the youtube interface than improvedtube can, helps give you a more focused experience. you can delete your sub box and/or home feed if you so please.

  • @CoolDudeClem
    @CoolDudeClem 2 місяці тому +11

    UA-cam back in 2009 is where it peaked. There's not much wrong with UA-cam on my computer. I have Ublock origin to block all intrusive ads, Sponsorblock to skip the annoying arts where people break the continuity of the video to waffle on about some product they love. Now if they would just bring back the likes and dislikes bar (or show it as stars like they used to), stop recommending me videos that I'm not interested in or videos that I've allready watched a billion times, remove the shorts and allow comments on UA-cam Kids videos again, that would be perfect.

      It got updated a few months ago and it currently works and at least for chromium browsers. But if you had installed it before it was taken down and put up again you could still use it. That's how I had it on my Firefox browser for over 2 years.

And the Comments and video description being squeezed of to the right side, as if that was less important than the video recommendations. This seems to have started 2 weeks ago.
    Using Ublock I can remove the recommended video suggestions. But it leaves a big large empty panel. And when watching the video fullscreen it adds a horizontal scroll bar below the video. Am I nuts or does anyone else have this too?
    And can this Improve UA-cam tool fix any of that?

I get only 6 results, then shorts, then a section named 'People also watched' that is unrelated to my search, then more shorts, and only then another few results. And again, a 'For you' section with random things I hate, and lastly, a few more results. And so on... Out of the first 44 'results,' only about 24 were actual results

    Had some trouble finding it because you have the wrong name, it's improvedTube not improvetube. Thanks for the info tho I was just thinking about how I can make youtube work better on Linux.

    I like 720p myself I don't really care for anything higher and see no reason to do so.
