Remove YouTube video radius
- Browser extension
- Tools
Back in August 2023 YouTube rounded off the corners on the video player. I found it really distracting, so I ended up writing a little extension to take the radius back off. Turns out tonnes of other people felt the same way about it.
It does one thing and one thing only. There’s no tracking or data collection, it only runs on youtube.com, and the whole thing is around 10kb, so it’s the sort of extension where you can actually have a look at what it’s doing before you install it.
Later versions widened the same fix out to the other places YouTube kept adding corners to:
- The featured video on profile pages
- Thumbnails in the sidebar
- Playlist images
Things worth mentioning
The running joke with this one is that it’s never really finished. YouTube redesign, the corners come back, and it needs another pass. (I’m not sure what I expected)
