    Anyone digging the new look? I personally love it because now videos that end in cliffhangers won't be so obvious thanks to the hidden load bar.

    Plus I get too distracted whenever I see the red bar getting too close to the gray loading bar.
     
    Wow. I actually like it. That's how it should be for youtube videos. I also got distracted by the visible bar they previously had before. I hope they keep this one though. It seems like they are always changing the loading bar every single time.
     
    Okay, I would like it if they didn't hide the controls on it. Other than that, it's a pretty sleek design, although I'd definitely much prefer the previous design to this one.
     
    I think this is the first time YouTube has ever made a visible change for the better.
     
    I actually noticed the change a couple of days ago, and I have to admit it's more visually appealing than the old bar. One of the few changes YouTube have made that isn't terrible.
     
    I took a while for it to roll out, but it's a signification improvement from the old design. It manages to make the player more touch-friendly and allow for more room for the video, which are both changes that YouTube has been dying for. With this and the removal of Google+ integration, it seems like YouTube is changing for the better.
     
    well, now my flash player doesn't crash when i put up youtube while playing aqw.

    that was removed? good. it should have never been done to begin with.
     
    I like it a lot. Now they just need to bring back the option to turn off autoplay for playlists. Not sure why they removed that feature in the first place.

    That's because YouTube doesn't use Flash for videos anymore. They now utilize HTML5 for video playback.

    my point exactly. its easier for my pc to use 2 different breeds of video players then it is for it to you 2 of the same type simultaneously.

    Yes and no. While they utilize HTML5 for videos as default, the flash player still acts as a fail safe. There are quite a good amount of videos, especially newly uploaded ones, that aren't completely processed, so in order to still be watchable, they just switch when the video reaches the point, where it's not completely converted. Also, I somewhat have the feeling, it happens more on Linux, than it does on Windows. At least for me it does, anyway.
