Reduce the title font size slightly and bump the grid spacing down a bit, will try to see how we can make these all configurable

I think this could become a "Grid density" setting and a "Restore views layout" setting which includes hiding the new play icon (which is currently a standalone setting)

Just found yet another way the template project Xcode uses when you create a new web extension for Safari points every barrel directly at your toes

Control Panel for YouTube v1.36 has a bunch of new features and fixes, including hiding the new "views" icon and "New" badges, disabling the "Video paused. Continue watching?" popup, always opening channel links on the Videos tab and more… Release notes: github.com/insin/contro...

It would be pretty cool if videos in your YouTube Subscriptions automatically went away for real if you've watched them or will never watch them (stream VODs) We've proved the concept 🤓

Same thing with the related sidebar when watching a video (which I normally have completely hidden) - this is what it looks like in vanilla YouTube then with Control Panel for Twitter restoring it usual size:

...but it only looks like with Control Panel for YouTube removing the useless "Most relevant" section and increasing the number of videos per row! This is what the same screen in vanilla YouTube looks like - still sod all room for actual videos due to the huge thumbnails:

We noticed we finally got the new YouTube /watch page side menu while taking these before & after screenshots, so we just added an option to hide it Progression: 1. Vanilla YT 2. Control Panel with default(-ish?) settings 3. Hide the sidebar when it's empty 4. Full-size theater mode

Control Panel for YouTube v1.35.1 fixes grid spacing issues in channel pages on desktop and the "Disabled themed hover effects" option should now work for all desktop thumbnails, as YouTube has started rolling these out more widely Release notes: github.com/insin/contro...

We just got the change where channel video pages now use the same grid sizing as Home and Subscriptions (3 videos at 1080p), but we can extend Control Panel for YouTube's "Grid items per row" feature to also work here:

A bunch of people just turned up from nowhere and pushed Control Panel for Twitter past the 300k users mark on Chrome Web Store Why thank you

YouTube removed the "Find out more" link from their "Experiencing interruptions?" popup (which indicates your adblocker is working) and now it makes zero sense (Also that link is what we were using to detect and hide it in Control Panel for YouTube)
