I don't think it's too bad. I can imagine those with some slight visual impairments it might've been awkward to see the buttons some times without a background for them

It looks exactly the same just a little different skin

I don't think it looks terrible, but it does look like windows media player from 20 years ago.

yay browser plugins

The old and the new UI still auto hides controls and the seekbar and timestamp. I hate that it hides those! Besides remember when the seekbar showed where the Ads were in marking those sections in yellow? Good times.

Revanced or Firefox with ublock, no more ads

Add Sponsorblock (included in Revanced) to skip in-video sponsor segments as well as self-marketing, recaps, etc if you want.

Also add DeArrow to remove channel-set preview images and actually see a preview of the video

It looks like the status bars window manager users tend to customize

Oh god.....I still don't understand how coke came out of that fiasco ahead of pepsi. Hell, I thought R.C. Cola would lap them.

This ain't a problem with PipePipe

Judging from screenshots in this article, it doesn't seem to loose or gain any functionality: all of the same controls are present.

With this in mind.
Who cares!? It's neither good nor bad. It's like the thing with playback line color. Yes, it's different, no, I didn't notice until some pointed it out, no, I couldn't care less.

I don't use the youtube app but I've hated every new redesign. Bring back the old ui

Oh so is that why I sometimes have to wait for a minute now before I can play a video?
