Space-efficient Youtube
Uses the page space on youtube more efficiently
(especially good for high resolutions)
Especially on high-res monitors the default youtube container is ridiculously narrow, but even on 1080p using the script can mean more videos on screen and less space wasted.
Home page
Before - After
- Option to hide the channel icons next to the videos on the home page from the settings.
NOTE: Due to a YT update to how the home page renders videos, changing the thumbnail width using the script's methods leaves a bunch of empty space, so I decided to disable that part of the script by default. Therefore the thumbnail sizes on the home page will be as determined by vanilla YT, unless you turn the option back on from the settings.

Known Problems
- The new chapter system should now fit unless you have not disabled the video "badges" (4K, CC, etc.). -> workaround: disable video badges from the script's settings
- multi-column recommended videos are not working in non-theatre mode on video pages. -> Workaround: Use theater mode or be happy with one column lol
- Video titles are cut short (title stops like this...) if the video container isn't large enough. -> Workaround: Set a larger video container width in script settings. Also, if you just want to know the full title of a video, you can hover over the title
- Home and Search results page video container sizing options don't seem to be working properly. -> Workaround: set default values from the script's settings
Youtube likes to make their HTML/CSS systems as complicated as possible and do a lot of changes, sometimes even making said changes for only certain countries to test things, so things do occasionally break... Known problems will be fixed when I have time and motivation to do so.
