You Tube looks all weird to me. It doesn’t looks like a redesign since some windows are going off the page. It’s chrome which is Google like YouTube is so it would be weird if there was a compatibility issue. Anyone else?

I just checked YouTube and it looks the same as it has for years. I use Safari on a Mac, FWIW.

I haven’t noticed anything new in Firefox for Mac.

Chrome. Windows 10. Same as it ever was.

Have you switched to _Theater Mode_?

On the right hand side of the control bar there are three widgets. The first is shaped like a cog, the second is a rectangle, and the third is a square cut into four bits. Clicking on the rectangle changes the display mode. Try clicking on that, and see if it goes back to normal.

It’s really weird. The screen is all crazy on my PC at home. Looks normal on other PCs now that i checked. The stuff on the side is at the top and the videos that usually display to the right are all way down at the bottom.

Mystery solved. Clearing my cache fixed it.
