Description

This extension used to revert the size of my youtube thumbnails, but now they're huge again! Is it possible to write a setting to reduce youtube sidebar thumbnails to about 1/4 size? Here's a view of my screen - note I have a 4k monitor so these thumbnails are huge. The home page thumbnails remain smaller than this.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing thumbnail-size setting and the logic or styles that control YouTube sidebar thumbnails; compare its behavior with the attached screenshot and the smaller home-page thumbnails. Done means a user-facing setting can reduce sidebar thumbnails to about one quarter size without changing the home-page thumbnails.
