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.

yeah it just went permanent on me too :/ even though i had just reverted it back to the old layout earlier today

Love they added the 1/3rd screen ad...Must have taken them weeks to decide on that element. Come on Google! This is 2012, where are our elements based on screen width? Is it hard to add width=50%?

yeah this is annoying... and even mobile devices are getting larger resolutions....

It's not a bad change, and it is a little more functional and cleaner. I agree about the Metro UI comments. I suppose this is the future of UI's. A "matte" sort of flat colors look.

Remember when it was all about glossy interfaces and sparkly icons? Ahh, those were the days. c:

Yousabletubefix is broken :(

well not completely broken, just the buttons it seems

the settings seem to be still in effect as i had it set to stop auto-play and to be 480p default and that's still in effect

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
