    Maybe by setting the expectation that the user will hate the update, when it becomes available to everyone it won’t be as bad as expected and thus more easily accepted.

        It’s Google – somehow they wrote the book on late 90s UI excellence and then proceeded to eat the book.

            On my iPhone I do. I sometimes like those alternative websites, but they rarely work consistently. And I’m too lazy to copy and paste the link too.

                Does Firefox block YouTube ads in the app? If so, maybe I just need to delete the app…

                  I use Firefox on android with YouTube, and I made FF th default to play YouTube videos. I might not even have YouTube app installed, I forget what I did with it.

                  I just got sick of ads and took action to not see them anymore

                    I assumed it had adds, but now that you mention it, I don’t think it does. I’m gonna delete the app and see how that life is.

      Nah they’ll still hate the update and then call the journalist a shill for trying to put a positive spin on the change.
