The sidebar sometimes won't instantly disappear if switching from YouTube home page to channel about customtube

That's simply a quirk of how CustomTube works. It only checks for a new URL every half second or so to avoid potential performance issues. In the 2012 layout, it decides whether to show or hide the sidebar based on the current URL, so yes, this would be a 2012 exclusive issue.

I would close this as not planned, but I'm actually thinking of experimenting with another possible way to detect what page the user is on. It might fix this, it might not. We'll just have to see.

I think the 2012 layout.

Sorry for advocacy, but this issue is so annoying, not only to me, but also for other people. So please do anything except the moving of the sidebar (because it no longer would be the 2012 layout) and PREVENT to creating the performance issues,

E.g. at least mitigating this issue would be good.

My opinion is, that it would be possible even without performance issues.

UPDATE: The “ou” is a typo, so I removed it from “perfourmance” (but I thought that it was literary British English).

Oh, who are these "other people"? If there's enough demand for something, I push it up my priority list a bit. I haven't had anyone else mention this though.

With the current way the extension is built, the only possible way to fix this would be to check for a new URL every 10 milliseconds (which means it would check for a new URL 100 times per second) or something crazy like that. That could very well cause performance issues, and is overall a horrible way to do things. Right now it checks for a new URL once or twice per second.

I actually think update 1.0.4 might've accidentally fixed this because of unrelated code improvements. It doesn't happen to me anymore. Is it also fixed for you?

[Aleksandra0056]

Partially fixed, but better than before, so you can close this.

Alright, thanks
