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.
