OG Studio brings back classic YouTube Studio analytics in Chrome

Rishav released OG Studio, a free, open-source Chrome extension that brings back the classic YouTube Studio channel analytics and content pages. He says he built it after seeing creators complain that YouTube took the old Studio away.

YouTube still ships the classic pages, so the extension doesn't rebuild them. It turns feature flags off before Studio starts, and Studio's own old code runs. You get the Overview, Content, Audience, Revenue and Trends tabs, Advanced mode, See more reports, video analytics, every date range including years, months and custom dates, and the classic Channel content page with its tabs. Revenue only shows on channels that are monetized or have earned before.

If the flag disappears or the classic page doesn't render within 30 seconds, OG Studio redraws Channel analytics from Studio's own data. That backup page is English only and close to the old one, not identical. If the data fails too, you get normal Studio. The Content page has no redraw.

Nothing leaves your browser except Studio's own requests. There are no accounts, no tracking and no servers. It depends on private YouTube flags that can change, and it has been tested on two channels so far, both in English.

Version 1.1.0 is on the Chrome Web Store, or you can download the zip from GitHub Releases and load it unpacked. The code is MIT licensed, and the extension isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
