Check out Iridium. Made by the same dev as YouTube Plus. It's great.
Youtube's 'not interested' button will never work. Install this.. It allows you to permanently blacklist entire channels, completely stopping them from showing up in the recommended feed and search results.
Also, just don't look at trending. There's no good reason to.
I've been using Iridium on Firefox and I really like it.

Sorry to say that I've completely abandoned YouTube Center. However, I've started working on its replacement but it's still in the early stages (and haven't worked on it for quite awhile :I).
I will recommend you to use one of the other alternatives e.g. Iridium by ParticleCore.
Are you using the Iridium addon? It seems to work again by enabling "Play videos automatically" from the video tab of settings (see issue).
If not, perhaps Youtube have changed something that broke other similar addons.
Youtube+ only works properly on the old Youtube design. For the new Youtube design there is Iridium by the same developer, but It doesn't have any option to chose the player size.
It should be possible, it's just no-one has done it yet. You could make a feature request on one of the extensions GitHub page, though here it does seem to be a bit intricate, since channel detection likely needs to run in the content script and then has to send it to the popup script.
Iridium is the YouTube script I use. It has volume memoization, but not for individual channels. You could also make a feature request there.
> I was using Iridium [...], but recently Youtube broke Iridium's pop out button
It seems to be very recently fixed. Open the add-on manager, click on the options button, then on "Check for Updates". Reload any yt page.
See this qutebrowser issue about improving its adblocker - YouTube ads can be blocked via the Iridium greasemonkey script.
Iridium comes in handy for this; It has an option that hides the end card when your cursor is on the video, but you can still peek at and visit the links by highlighting where one is.
Check out Iridium, much better.

What the hell is going on in there? That is certainly not how I developed Iridium settings to be. This is how they are suppose to look like, tested on latest Firefox stable and Nightly: http://i.cubeupload.com/sCIZKh.png
Are you sure that you are using a compatible browser version and not a fork or an old version? Because that button looks nothing like standard Firefox list selection button, unless you have a theme/style applied
https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/blob/master/README.md
Also it is best to report the problems on the actual issue tracker instead of here where I might miss something like this.
- no feature to scroll to top of a page when pressing tab bar. --That's called the [Home] button on your keyboard.
- no popup context to search for a word in google. --right-click?
- also youtube thumbnail preview gone. -welcome to a Chrom(ium)-only feature. I use Iridium which has thumbnail preview.
No, it's a third-party extension/add-on called Iridium. It aims to improve the YouTube experience (and it does for me). It's available for several browsers, including Chrome and Firefox.
Do you have Iridium by change? YouTube team changed something in the back end, so, toggle 'play videos automatically' on
You can use the Iridium userscript (see 19. in the FAQ on how to install it) to block YouTube ads.
dont use adblock, install iridium and choose to block all ads/only ads from people you're not subscribed to. also many cool features
you can also install auto close youtube ads to mute and skip ads automatically (even after 1 sec). the creator still gets paid
There's an open source extension for youtube called iridium that lets you only have ads on people you subscribe to, that's what I use instead, so only people I care about get ad revenue.
Use YouTube Iridium extension . It allows you to block ads except channels you're subscribed to. It also adds all sorts of other useful features
New YouTube layout | Old YouTube layout
I highly doubt Google will ever fix the autoplay on|off switch.
You could always get YouTube+ for Firefox [old YouTube layout] or Iridium for Firefox [new YouTube layout].
Please note that only the UserScript for Iridium has and will have an opt-in miner that you can easily disable: https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/issues/223
no need to do that as I checked the GitHub page and the owner of the extension knows about the issue and is working on a fix. someone also found a temporary solution that does work as I've tested it myself. if anyone has this extension heres the link to the temporary fix https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/issues/788
Iridium is being rewritten from scratch and the initial release of this new version is missing most of the features of the existing extension. See the developer's announcement.
You can either wait for the features to be re-added or downgrade to an earlier version and disable automatic updates for it.
There's a browser addon that, among other things, lets you block channels from appearing in your recommended with just a single click. It's called Iridium for YouTube. While it won't stop new channels from showing up, it still has a massive impact.
It's a browser extension, so it obviously doesn't work on mobile.
Iridium has also not received any updates since January as development is paused indefinitely.
You should try Iridium
It keeps YouTube's keyboard shortcuts always active. https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/wiki/Features#shortcuts_always_active
If you install and Iridium you can fix a lot of crap up re: youtube like automatically hiding the those end screens, the comments, ads, etc. You should also be running uBlock Origin, but this also helps clean up the UI.

Google/YouTube team quite possibly changed something in the backend to make 'no autoplay' not work as intended.
Hopefully, when Firefox 66 releases, autoplay will work seamlessly regardless of whether YouTube team changes things.
I use a combination of uBlock Origin + Iridium. Iridium gets rid of the video ads, while at the same time adding some fancy extra options to improve user experience. Then uBlock Origin get rids of the ads from the pages (such as in the homepage and all that crap).
For some reason, using just uBlock Origin (without Iridium) will end up breaking videos. Can't be bothered to find out why.
Do you happen to have the Iridium for YouTube extension installed? I do and noticed no videos were playing for me today. The only way I got them to play was by disabling the extension entirely.
This is a known issue when "Play videos automatically" is unchecked on the extensions settings page. Couple of Bug reports/open issues (#671 and #672) pertaining to this issue on GitHub.
Fix may be a ways off as ParticleCore (the developer) has stated "Development is on pause" for at least a few weeks "due to personal reasons".
There was some uproar when the developer expressed his intent to add a crypto miner to the extension. I have no clue what happened with that idea.
Yeah, I figured that bit out, was hoping for a better fix than that. The "updated" version, Iridium, still has plenty of issues, and it doesn't fix my core issues with the new design.
Iridium is the reason I came here in the first place LOL. Youtube made some changes and broke this feature of Iridium. The dev knows about it https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/issues/654
Not stopping buffering could make a website deplete your data without you realizing. Unfortunately in some places data is capped. You could have a tab opened without realizing that its buffering the full 1 GB video in the background where as you didn't want to watch the video in the first place, you were just there for the article. But I am hoping addons will address this in the future just as there were auto-blocking addons in the flash video era.
> an adblocker(I use uBlock)
uBlock [AdBlock] or the true uBlock?
Iridium is a must have if you frequent YouTube.
FWIW you can use the Iridium userscript to block YouTube ads. There are some optimizations coming soon for scrilling performance, and hopefully things like uMatrix-like functionality aren't too far away anymore either.
Hi, There is a open bug on Iridiums Github.
https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/issues/600
It looks like author is aware of the issue
​
I think, best option for now is to use Iridium
Not sure how it works. You probably needs to whitelist YouTube in uBO (big blue button) and then in Iridium enable Allow ads only on videos of subscribed channels
Or Iridium that offers some other Youtube enhancements as well as allowing you to block all ads with an option to whitelist all channels you're subscribed to.
For me Iridium asked to read and change the data on Youtube when I installed it, but actually this is the case with all the extensions of this kind (and any extension that modifies how a site works, like RES). It wasn't disabled automatically for me, so not sure what happened in your case, maybe the permissions were revoked accidentally.
Here's the source code. I don't know enough to know 100% it's not taking data, but if they were it should be in the source code (I don't think they are). So don't worry about those permissions because any extension of this kind needs them to work, I think you would only have to worry if it suddenly asked to read the browsing history or accessing data of sites different than Youtube.
iridium has a "video always stays visible while scrolling" option.

It's an extension that, among other things, lets you blacklist channels you don't want to see anywhere on the site. Makes YouTube so much better once you get rid of all the content targeted at 12 year olds.

The pop-out player implemented on YouTube is likely rolling out to specific people first and then the rest.
Googles LOVES re-arranging their A/B Testing code.
New YouTube layout | Old YouTube layout
YouTube does this thing where the video player size will change according the screen size (of the browser).
New YouTube layout | [Old YouTube layout](https://github.com/ParticleCore/Particle/wiki/Features#dynamic_size_off
YouTube does this thing where the video player size will change according the screen size (of the browser).
The problem lies with Google.
You could always get YouTube+ for Firefox [old YouTube layout] or Iridium for Firefox [new YouTube layout].
Please note that only the UserScript for Iridium has an opt-in miner that you can easily disable: https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/issues/223
You can get the Iridium userscript, which provides animated thumbnails (although a little bit differently) and some other features you can turn toggle on or off.
I actually found something that does pretty much the same thing! It's a userscript called Iridium, and for my needs it gets the job done well enough. The only thing that doesn't really jive with me is that it integrates a miner as a method to donate to the dev, but to its credit it is very explicit about its existence, requires the user to opt in for it to work, and is completely optional whatsoever otherwise.

PS: https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium - is the new versions of the same project, use it if you are using new Material youtube interface already.
Something is really strange in your screenshot because your dropdown button, on the quality option, should be exactly like mine. It looks like you have something else running on top of it causing this problem. Follow these steps to see what that might be: https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/wiki/Report-a-bug#troubleshooting
