About YouTube EasyTool
YouTube EasyTool gives you direct control over some of YouTube's most frustrating defaults.
Grid Layout — Set the exact number of video columns on the YouTube home and subscriptions pages, from 2 to 8. Includes optional dynamic responsive scaling to adapt gracefully across different screen sizes and split views.
Metadata Scaling — Automatically or manually scale video titles, channel names, avatars, and metadata lines from 60% to 140% to match your chosen grid density.
Sidebar Thumbnail Size — Resize the video thumbnails in the watch page sidebar. Drag the slider from 50% to 130% of the default size. Only affects the related videos panel — all other pages are untouched.
Hide Shorts — Remove YouTube Shorts from your home feed, search results, and subscription feed. The Shorts section in the sidebar remains accessible if you want to browse it directly.
Original Titles — Prevent YouTube from auto-translating video titles into your browser's language. Titles are shown in their original language.
Square Video Player — Remove rounded corners from the YouTube video player for a clean, edge-to-edge square look.
