- BarnMTB reviewed Control Panel for YouTube
Now hides "low-view videos in Related" sections by default, removing the chance for new independent YouTube creators to ever be seen, and favors YouTube being a platform for large studios in the long run, among other strange & opinionated defaults as of 1.31 update.
It's technically a good extension; it can hide Shorts & bring back small grid for example, but I advise checking its configuration on install & periodically.
