Core Features

Supported Platforms

Recommended: Violentmonkey 2.16.2 or later

Also Supported: Tampermonkey (closed-source)

Remarks

Inspiration: The source code and design were originally inspired by SuperYouTube but have been heavily improved (including dark/light theme support). This UserScript is not affiliated with SuperYouTube.

Motivation: Created to simplify settings and reduce RAM usage compared to SuperYouTube while fixing bugs and performance issues.

Performance: Many CSS hacks are employed for performance gains (e.g., using contain and content-visibility). Some hacks might interfere with other UserScripts or plugins—please report issues for fixes.

Old version is buggy due to changes of YouTube's engine and its fundamental design was incorrect.
