Recently, news spread that came from Google and primarily involved YouTube; Specifically, in this news, all mobile device users were warned that their mobile application for YouTube will stop working on those who have an old operating system, making it therefore necessary to try to update them to the new versions. YouTube has gone so far as to place an informative video on all existing channels (without permission from their administrators), something of which you can even see our right sidebar, because that YouTube video is placed right there (by the way, click on our own videos) that has not been placed by the administrators of this blog (or any other channel) but rather, by the administrators "of the Great Portal ».
Don't be surprised to see that This YouTube video has reached more than 2 million views. in a few days, since its reproduction is practically an obligation on all channels. Out of all this, now we will mention a small trick that you can adopt to be able to have the new YouTube interface but in your conventional web browser (on a personal computer).
What's good about the new YouTube interface on the web?
Many people are unaware of it, but Google has been working in its laboratories (internally) on the new version of your YouTube video player, which will be officially launched shortly. If you want to have an idea of what Google would propose with this service, you should only analyze the screenshot that we have placed at the top.
Basically there are two most distinguishable changes that can be easily noticed in a small analysis, which are the following:
- The line of progress in video playback is much thinner.
- The area where the play icons (and other elements) are is transparent.
Although Google has not yet officially launched this new interface for YouTube, Through a few tricks you will be able to activate it in your web browser but, as long as you use Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
Previously we want to mention that the trick in each of these Internet browsers is to use specific cookies; Specifically, you have to try to find the following cookie but when you go to any YouTube video (or the general URL):
VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE
Once you find it, you will have to replace it with the following value (or parameter):
Q06SngRDTGA
When you finish this task, you will be able to have your YouTube player with its new interface, something very similar to what we have suggested at the top with the respective screenshot.
Activate the New YouTube Interface in Firefox
In any version of Firefox that you currently use on your personal computer, you should only follow the following trick to be able to locate and subsequently replace the cookie that we have described above:
- Open your Mozilla Firefox browser.
- Now you have used the keyboard shortcut «Shift + F2»
- In the search space (at the bottom) type "cookie list" and then the "Enter" key
With these three steps that we have indicated you will be able to see all the cookies within the "Developers Area"; You just have to locate the one that we have described as original and later replace it with the other cookie that we mentioned above.
Activate the New YouTube Interface in Google Chrome
The way of operating to find the respective cookies in Google Chrome is very different from what we mentioned with Firefox. In this case we must rely on an extension for this Internet browser, which has the name "EditThisCookie» and that you can add it from its respective link.
You just have to select this plugin from the top right to search for the original cookie and then replace it with the one we suggested above. As you can admire, there are different alternatives that we could adopt (manually) and thus activate this new YouTube interface, a situation that will later no longer be necessary to do when Google officially presents it.
