Overview

Note: This script is designed specifically for the desktop YouTube site (www.youtube.com) and does not support the mobile version (m.youtube.com).

This script provides several enhancements to the YouTube user interface, giving you more control over your viewing experience. You can customize the video grid layout, hide all Shorts-related content, and automatically redirect the Shorts player to the standard video player.


📢 Important Update (v1.3.0 - 2025/12/07)

The on-screen settings button has been removed to keep the interface clean.
You can now access the settings panel directly from your userscript manager's menu (e.g., Tampermonkey menu). Please refer to the Getting Started section below for details.


Features

  • Customizable Grid Layout: Set the number of video thumbnails displayed per row (from 2 to 10) using a simple slider in the settings menu.
  • Comprehensive Shorts Blocker: Completely removes all Shorts content from your view, including shelves on the homepage, videos in feeds and search results, and links in the sidebar.
  • Shorts Player Redirect: Automatically redirects the vertical Shorts player to the standard, familiar video player interface for a consistent viewing experience.
  • Cross-Tab Syncing: Settings are automatically synced across all your open YouTube tabs, ensuring a seamless experience without manual updates.

Getting Started

Access the settings via your userscript manager's menu:

  1. Open the Tampermonkey (or equivalent) menu in your browser.
  2. Select YouTube UI Customizer Settings.
  3. Configure your preferences in the modal window.
