If you're monolingual or otherwise just don't want AI auto-dubbed videos, "Video lists → Hide auto-dubbed videos in Related" will hide them in the Related sidebar

Unfortunately, this seems to be the only place YouTube is currently explicitly tagging these as auto-dubbed videos

If you're a multilingual YouTube user and you don't want AI auto-dubbing of videos which aren't in your display language, Control Panel for YouTube's "Video pages → Always use original audio" option will automatically switch to the original audio track in videos and Shorts

However, if you're currently using the Redirect to twitter.com?mx=1 option, you might want to disable it in case they decide to flag users who primarily use the site via that URL as "inauthentic"

(which would be an incredibly stupid thing to do… so they might do it)

YouTube spelunking session results for "how can I get a hold of whatever gets called when you click Hide on a video in your Subscriptions?"

I didn't realise how widely AI Summaries have spread in YouTube, as Control Panel for YouTube has been hiding them since they were first being A/B tested

An AI Summary on a Let's Play video‽

Literally unusable? This is my current Subscriptions page with and then without Control Panel for YouTube

See that unwatched video on the bottom right? On vanilla YouTube, that's on page _50_, under 49 pages of (mostly) watched videos and stream VODs

Warning: vanilla YouTube becomes literally unusable once you're used to the Control Panel version

One of our favourite things in Control Panel for YouTube - unpin that header so theater mode can take up the entire window

We found the experiment flags which can be removed to go back to the old YouTube player UI, but that'll stop working when they eventually remove the old implementation

Control Panel for YouTube v1.17.0 has some Initial tweaks for the new video player UI YouTube is rolling out globally on desktop, and has been submitted to all browser extension stores for review

First options for the new player UI coming to Control Panel for YouTube soon

The Play button at wider screen sizes is one of the main problems, as they pushed the progress bar up to make room for it

With this option you can keep using the compact version in default, theater and full screen views
October 16, 2025 at 6:05 AM
It's the big play button and all the space that's made for it 👀
October 15, 2025 at 6:02 PM
Initial tweaks we're playing about with for the new YouTube player UI:

- Make the play button and time display smaller
- Use the space that creates to move the progress bar down
- Remove the new background from button controls (keep it for time display as there's no gradient now)

Before & after:
