Is OldYTPlayer | YouTube Old Player UI + Minimal Tweaks safe?
This extension restores YouTube’s pre-2025 player UI and adds optional interface cleanup tweaks.
It reverts the YouTube player to the older layout, hides the new fullscreen grid and quick controls, and can use classic like/dislike buttons. Optional settings include hiding Shorts, AI summary elements, sponsored panels, merch, promos, and Share/Thanks/Clip buttons, plus integrations for SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
