Looks flat and Metro on IE 10 only. Still looks like the previous design on Chrome. Wonder if it's supposed to do that...

EDIT: Here's a pic, BTW:

Looks like Google is following MS Metro UI. But that is horrible and wastes so much space. That is example of one bad design.

Extremely awful. So much wasted space. Why the **** is everything squished to the left side? I have a 1920x1200 resolution, and I may as well be on 800x600 for this crap. Good thing there are a few userstyles and userscripts available to help make this change not as horrible. Unfortunately, all of my old scripts are broken. That is kind of a deal breaker for me.

just delete your youtube cookies if you want to go back to the old layout

it's not permanent yet

edit: or maybe it is permanent now :/ i had just got it for the first time today and was able to revert it back by deleting the youtube cookies, but now it's back to the new layout again and i can't get it back :(

It is for me. It looks like accounts are getting a permanent hit on it in waves so some of us are getting it and have no way to revert. Looks like waves started on 12/6.

Microsoft makes windows look terrible with their latest OS. Google makes youtube look terrible with their latest update. What is this? The year of ruining UIs?
