When you do this you can't go to anything without typing it in. Such as account settings, inbox, subscriptions, etc. on the drop down box.

I can. If you have the YouTube center extension on your browser than disable it.

You can. This isn't like inspect element lol. It's a cookie.

Tried this out and it never worked for me.

It said something like "Syntax Error" for me. The most annoying part is that I couldn't copy and paste it for some reason, I had to manually type it :/. Anyone else having this problem?

Both themes are retarded. I want the layout before cosmic panda's bullshit.

Ctrl+v pastes. You have to paste everything in the code. Quotes and all.

And Ellie you're doing something wrong. Go on YouTube, and just paste this in the address bar, then hit enter. That should work.

javascript:document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=qDpUsBNO0FY; expires=Thu, 2 Aug 2020 20:47:11 UTC";

Good tutorial thanks bro appreciate it

 

[Resistance]

I really like the new theme, I find it to be pretty nice. I know someone on HF has some video posted on how to fix it a little bit.

 

[Brian]

Thanks, the CTRL+V paste is very convenient. When I typed it out the first time, I forgot the "Javascript" in the beginning. Thanks again for this.

So far whenever YouTube updates everyone bitches on how it sucks, than everyone gets used to it and it's sick as hell.

But this... blows.
