    They also threw shorts at the top of the subscription section in the TV app recently. As if anyone wants to watch shorts on their TV. They don’t care though, it pushes shorts which is what they want to push right now.

    There’s a ublock filter you can use to make them small again. I’ll post the code once I get home.

    ! Changing the amount of videos per row
    youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-items-per-row: 6 !important;)
    youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-posts-per-row: 6 !important;)
    
    ! Using full page width for video grids
    youtube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid-6-columns:style(width: 100% !important;)
    youtube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid:not(.grid-disabled):style(max-width: 100% !important;)
    

    I have it set up for 6 per row but you can change the number to be whatever you want.

    I got tired of large thumbnails long ago. For anyone already using Enhancer for Youtube, you can add the following to the custom script section:

    /* Add to Enhancer for YouTube's Custom script section */
    
    ;(function () {
        document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('style')).innerHTML =
            'ytd-rich-grid-row{display:inline-block;width:min-content;}div#contents.ytd-rich-grid-row{margin:0;}' +
            'ytd-rich-item-renderer{width:32rem !important;margin:1rem;}' +
            'ytd-video-meta-block[rich-meta] #metadata-line.ytd-video-meta-block{font-size:1.5rem !important;line-height:initial;}' +
            '#video-title.ytd-rich-grid-media{font-size:1.75rem;line-height:initial;}'
    })()

      Any chance you’ve attempted or figured out how to block “premiering soon” posts? Useless garbage, YouTube is not for scheduling

    I use Control Panel for YouTube. Has a lot of features. Don’t know how trustworthy it is. It has only 11k Users and 49 ratings on Firefox but I use it for some time now. YouTube rolled that out for me for weeks and when I got it, I didn’t found a script to add to uBlock or so, when I got this bs.

      Does anyone have any iOS alternatives recommendation ? I’m trying to get the family away from YT too, but they all have iOS for reasons

        someone in a group I know asked the same a few weeks ago and the general reply was “No”

        iOS ain’t friendly to any kind of 3rd party app

      I want them to synchronize my watch history so that each one doesn’t keep listing the videos I already watched in the other.

        The whole point of these apps is that they are local, independent from algorithms and YT’s surveillance. If you want to synchronize something, you’ll have to do it manually.

        It’s always been super spotty for me. Sometimes it doesn’t work for a few hours, sometimes for a few days. It usually ends up working again after a bit. I ended up moving to mostly using yt-dlp instead, as it’s more consistent. I don’t know of a more reliable phone-option tho :(

    I use dearrow so I don’t see custom thumbnails, just screen cap of a random time code in the video and I view YouTube through my subscription box only and have watch history off so the home page isn’t even available to me.
