It looks nice. It works better on Chrome than it does on Firefox. Getting a URL from a video on Firefox just doesn't work that well when I right click the video and needs to be fixed. Getting a URL from a video on Chrome works well though. What do you think of it?

Well, it's an update alright. If only they could give the obvious option of turning off videos from auto-playing when a page loads. Seems like Youtube has always been about aesthetic compared to functionality since Google bought them.

You can switch it off by going to the top right of the youtube video page and switch it off.

@GameboyTroy: thats only if you select an individual video.

the last time i tried (and i just checked again) if you go into an aldum to watch one video it just goes straight to the next video in the album. maybe im blind but i cant see an option to turn this off.

@osan0: If you're talking about the playlists I get what you're saying. I've been trying to figure that out for a while. All I know is to pause the video before it ends.

Not a fan, better then what it was but the Auto play is down right fucking annoying. I shouldn't have to hit play then pause it again so it doesn't head off to the next video while I read comments or scan the vids in the side bar.

Also youtube has gone to shit in general. I literally can no longer ever find something of interest. It's all just stupid shit that I honestly don't need to be watching or care to see. Like those fucking pranks everyone does. Not only are they stupid, often rude, and downright just nothing but a completely shit thing to do to complete strangers but they completely make me want to go to youtube less as all that ever pops up on their advertised channels are shit like that.

I think it looks really nice, and the bar fades away faster if you move your mouse away from the player.

I like it. My only gripe is the "watch later" button is missing unless you're watching in full screen. It use to be next to the settings button. Other than that minor bit, it's good.

Its always been like that. Its how people are uploading their videos. Some are low, some are just right and some are too loud.

Use a YouTube plugin. YouTube High Definition is a great plugin with lots of options and will do exactly what you just mentioned.

If you could find a Chrome-equivalent, you'd be my dreamsicle.

Or maybe it's time to hop ship back to Firefox.
