    Great, now I have the privilege of using an ugly, space-wasting interface designed for touch devices on my PC as well. Just great...

      The Android app now supports vertical videos. Thanks to all the ignorants who keep making them.

        So they finally made their minds up, ey?

        I remember when the UI would switch from the new one to the old one at times; got quite annoying. Glad they've made it a permanent choice.

            They finally added auto paging to the desktop site. Was a pain to have to click view more each time before.

                      Wow, you're not allowed to use dark theme if you're not logged in, which wasn't the case during beta. What a dick move by Google.

                        I did not understand the first paragraph. Can some simplify it?

                          AnonD-677133, 29 Aug 2017All apps and sites need a dark theme option.Exactly! Used the dark theme since the beta-option was out, YouTube badly needed that. Hoping other sites follow the trend of allowing users switch to a dark theme.

                              Then use Samsung Internet Browser 6 beta High dynamic range mode (Dark night mode) option. Feels great to use. Thank you Samsung for concern.

                                It's not a big change. Basically it's almost same, just slightly retouched.
