Description
Notes
Doesn't work anymore as of October 25, 2023. I recommend using CustomTube's 2021 layout instead of this. It's a much better fix than this ever was, and it doesn't rely on the old watch page layout at all. Install here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/customtube/

Version 2.0 - TBD
Planned - Removes the temporary fixes in favor of permanent fixes only. To try these permanent fixes out, install the beta version of this script.
This userstyle will not receive any more updates.
Version 1.3 - May 10, 2022
New - Restores video title font size to 18px.
Version 1.2 - May 10, 2022
New - Fully restores the old layout using a temporary fix. This will only work until the next time YouTube updates its code.
Version 1.1 - May 10, 2022
New - Restores the old video title font.
New - Removes the bold font on the upload date and view count.
Bugfix - The border around the channel name was visible again.
Minor Change - Added comments explaining which parts of the code does what.
