About Reframe & Sift for YouTube
Reframe & Sift for YouTube is a customization tool that helps you narrow down the YouTube interface to “only what you want to see” and “only in the layout you prefer.”
You can hide low-view-count videos, change the number of thumbnails displayed, use a larger theater mode, adjust the header size, and show or hide live chat.
Create a more comfortable viewing environment tailored just for you.
After installation, you can quickly turn the main features ON/OFF from the popup, and fine-tune each option on the detailed settings page. Each feature can be enabled individually, so you can use only what you need.

--NEW!--
・YouTube recently changed video metadata to read like "▷228 • Streamed 3 days ago". Added a feature that restores the original "228 views • Streamed 3 days ago" format.
・Videos from channels in your subscriptions list, or from channels whose videos you've opened several times, can now be excluded from the low view count filter. This keeps the filter working while letting videos from your favorite channels through unfiltered, even right after they're posted.
