A selection of YouTube viewers have recently noticed there's a little something different with the look of the website.

IDK, seems like a lot of extra work when they could just not make a dogshit UI in the first place.

It's Google -- somehow they wrote the book on late 90s UI excellence and then proceeded to eat the book.

Whatever take the attention away from the unskippable 30 second ads!

Do you really get those? I don't on PC or Android.

On my iPhone I do. I sometimes like those alternative websites, but they rarely work consistently. And I’m too lazy to copy and paste the link too.

No Firefox for iPhone?

Does Firefox block YouTube ads in the app? If so, maybe I just need to delete the app…

I use Firefox on android with YouTube, and I made FF th default to play YouTube videos. I might not even have YouTube app installed, I forget what I did with it.

I just got sick of ads and took action to not see them anymore

I assumed it had adds, but now that you mention it, I don’t think it does. I’m gonna delete the app and see how that life is.
