YouTube now formally lets you opt in for Material Design on the web
After more than a year of testing, YouTube will finally let you opt in to the Material Design version on desktop without requiring a URL workaround. YouTube said the goal of the redesign is to make the desktop experience more synonymous with its mobile counterpart, fitting in a simpler look to better highlight content on the site.
The new design brings infinite scrolling, end-to-end user profile banner, and a larger hero video on a user’s profile page.
