# SeriStyle

Bring the early-2021 UI back to YouTube!

3. Enable Developer mode

4. Click "Load unpacked"

## My YouTube page is frozen and it only happens with your extension!

Try to disable RYD. Unironically. Lmfao. Who's even surprised at this point?



## FAQ 

#### Does it support white theme?

No. Most transformers will have their colors broken under white theme.

#### How is this different from YouTube Redux?

It's in the description of the extension: **early-2021** UI.

#### Where's the RYD sentiment bar?

SeriStyle hides it because it's implemented in such a disgusting way that it cannot even work standalone without breaking on video switch. Digging around other people's code to fix it isn't something I do.
