Fix YouTube Video Gaps (Tampermonkey Script)

This guide will help you fix random gaps between YouTube videos caused by the is-in-first-column attribute using a Tampermonkey script.

🚀 How It Works

YouTube applies extra margin to certain video elements in the first column. This script removes the attribute to fix the layout.

🛠️ Installation Steps

1️⃣ Install Tampermonkey

If you haven’t installed it yet, download Tampermonkey for your browser:

• Stop Using Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge

2️⃣ Create a New Script

1. Click on the Tampermonkey extension icon.
2. Select "Create a new script".
3. Delete the default template and paste the following code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Remove YouTube is-in-first-column
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      1.0
// @description  Removes the is-in-first-column attribute on YouTube
// @author       You
// @match        *://www.youtube.com/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    function fixMargins() {
        document.querySelectorAll('ytd-rich-item-renderer[is-in-first-column]').forEach(el => {
            el.removeAttribute('is-in-first-column');
        });
    }

    // Run on page load and when navigating within YouTube
    new MutationObserver(fixMargins).observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
    fixMargins();
})();

3️⃣ Save & Enable the Script

• Click File > Save or press Ctrl + S.
• Ensure the script is enabled in the Tampermonkey dashboard.

4️⃣ Refresh YouTube

Reload YouTube, and the random gaps should be gone! 🎉

🎯 Troubleshooting

• Still seeing gaps? Try disabling other extensions that modify YouTube.
• Not working? Ensure Tampermonkey is enabled and the script is active.
• New YouTube updates? If YouTube changes its structure, this script may need updates.

🔥 Enjoy Your Clean YouTube Layout!

No more annoying gaps—just a smooth, evenly spaced video grid! 🚀
