hey, anyone know of any #firefox addons that switch #youtube subscription feed back to a list format (edit: and includes the vid description)? this grid fuckin sucks, I don't watch videos that I can't see the description for first.

@plwt Doesn't seem to work, unfortunately.

@juliamon I can probably put together a Stylus override for you after work, though it may be a little jank and I obviously can't guarantee that Google won't just roll out breaking CSS changes in another week or two. I managed to at least get this far after a couple minutes just to see if it would be possible:

@juliamon Actually nevermind, you don't even have to rely on me to do it, someone else already has: https://userstyles.world/style/26372

The extension you need is called Stylus. Just install it, open the user style above, hit the "Install" button, and it should take you to a screen in the extension with an "Install style" button on the left side.

Obvs the caveat about Google breaking it whenever they want still applies, though...

YouTube - Bring Back Subscription Lists by Netrics

YouTube is either planning to remove the list for subscriptions feed page, or they actually did it. This is a quick hack gets it back.

@alahmnat This *almost* works, but it still doesn't show the video descriptions.

@juliamon D'oh, sorry about that, I mistook "description" as "title" for some reason. In that case I don't think Stylus will be able to help you, because it doesn't look like Google is serving that data on the subs page at all anymore, even in a hidden element. That might make it difficult to work around even with a plugin, since those mostly work off of the on-page content.

@alahmnat oof, that's so infuriating. Guess I'll use Youtube *even less* now.

@juliamon which page are you looking at?

My subscription page has a list view with descriptions

Is this another "improvement " I get to look forward to?

@Wearwolf Yeah, probably. I didn't have it until switching to Waterfox this week, I don't know if it's an A/B testing thing or if stock Firefox (non-nightly) still had the old code cached. I'm finding people complaining about this within the last few days so it's a new development either way.

Enjoy it while it lasts.
