How to: Activate the New YouTube Layout Before Everyone Else!


 Activate the New YouTube Layout Before Everyone Else!
Hi all users, Now a days YouTube is testing a new design for both the homepage and the video page, which will give it a much cleaner look than the current one.The new design is very much inspired by the one Google+ unveiled a few months back, down to the annoying amounts of whitespace used sometimes, made more visible by the left-centered layout.

Still, overall it's an improvement. YouTube is testing the new design with some users, but you can try it on for yourself, as always, by editing your YouTube cookies. Don't worry it's not like a daunting task, all it takes is to past one line of code into your browser's JavaScript console :)
 How to Activate New YouTube Design in Your Browser :

You can find a more detailed explanation on how to do this for Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE here.
