YouTube US Mode (Hide Region Label)

A lightweight Tampermonkey userscript that hides YouTube's regional country code (like “PH”, “IN”, etc.) to make the site appear cosmetically identical to the U.S. version.

⚠️ Note: This script is primarily for personal use. It is considered stable and unlikely to need updates. If YouTube changes its top bar layout, updates may be released.

📷 Before vs After

✨ Features

• Removes the small country code label under the YouTube logo (e.g. “PH”, “IN”).
• Mimics the visual style of YouTube's U.S. default mode.
• Lightweight and auto-applies whenever YouTube loads.
• Keeps all other regional functionality intact — just cosmetic.

🧠 How It Works

The script continuously looks for the #country-code element on YouTube and hides it using a lightweight DOM observer.

const el = document.querySelector('span#country-code');
if (el && el.style.display !== 'none') el.style.display = 'none';

⚙️ Installation

1. Install Tampermonkey for your browser:

   • Chrome
   • Firefox
   • Edge

2. Download or open the userscript:
   youtube-us-mode.user.js

3. Click Install in Tampermonkey.

4. Reload YouTube — the country code under the logo will now be hidden, giving the site a U.S. look.
