Well most of the people nowdays have a widescreen monitor, so maybe a wide version for them would be nice, third video size that takes the white space(optional for those who love white spaces), centered layout, customizable homepage instead of forcing "what to watch" section on people.

Seriously, what would you want there? A second tab of YT so you can watch two videos at once? The video taking up the entire browser space?

No, but centering the website would be nice.

Also, watching the video in the "larger" option only expands it to where the related videos are; so you're still left with useless blank space. Changing the quality of the video doesn't make the screen bigger like it used to anymore.

@woutr It was on sale for $99 doe :soosad:

White is nowhere near as easy on the eyes as dark gray for example.

I find it much more natural to look at the center of the screen than lean left the entire time I browse YT. Besides, making room for emptiness isn't the brightest idea mankind has ever come up with.

neither are black sites that generally use more variety of colours, white and black work perfectly fine there is a reason why they are the standard

also white makes the black text stand out ie easier on the eyes try white text on black background it aint easier on the eyes unless its bold

^Yes, but it's just white everywhere. If there were some light grey, or some slight gradient for the background or stuff like that, it would be much better.
Also, just found out that space doesn't work as a play/pause button any more, only in fullscreen. :palm:

Nice. Though it doesn't center the right way. The player ends up being a bit to the right even. And the front page is a little to the left. It should center the feed and video player, then it'd be better. I also have an extension that automatically sets every video to HD if possible, so I don't have to fuck around when listening to music.
