Use this interactive demo to learn how to restore the classic YouTube interface using a Chrome extension.

Quick summary

The YouTube Redux Chrome extension lets you revert the YouTube UI to its classic layout in just a few clicks. Install it from the Chrome Web Store and instantly restore the old sidebar, header, and homepage design.


Steps

  1. Go to chromewebstore.google.com and search for YouTube Redux in the search bar.
  2. Click the extension from the results and click Add to Chrome.
  3. Click Add extension in the confirmation popup to install it.
  4. Click the Extensions icon in your Chrome toolbar and pin YouTube Redux for easy access.
  5. Go to youtube.com — the restored layout will be applied automatically.
  6. Click the extension icon and toggle individual options such as the sidebar, header, or homepage layout to customize your experience.

📌 Why this matters

Many users prefer YouTube's older interface for its cleaner layout and easier navigation. The YouTube Redux Chrome extension lets you revert the YouTube UI instantly, restoring the classic sidebar, header, and homepage design without any coding. This matters because Google frequently updates YouTube's interface in ways that disrupt familiar workflows, and having a one-click solution to restore the old YouTube layout saves time and reduces frustration. It gives users full control over which UI elements are changed, making it a practical tool for anyone who wants a more familiar YouTube browsing experience.
