YouTube’s HTML5 Web App Gets A Sleek New Makeover, Here’s How To Access It Now

For over a year now, YouTube’s HTML5 web interface has made the official YouTube iOS app seem slow and ungainly. Now it’s one upped f its slow, stupid brother once again by making watching videos on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad even sleeker and easier on the eyes.

Here’s how to access the new design. Just visit https://m.youtube.com/new_visual_design on your iOS device and select “Try The New Visual Design!” Once the app reloads, you’ll be good to go.

I honestly don’t even know why Apple bothers to ship iOS with a YouTube.app installed anymore. The web app is superior to the native app in practically every way.
