Youtube Feather Beta

[Notional]

Hi Guys, if you haven't noticed, Youtube has launched a new Beta called Feather. It's designed to make loading and responsiveness a lot faster. It also deactivates voting and comments, making the entire system sleaker and faster. Try it out:

Edit: Seems like you CAN vote on feather too, my bad

Trying it out, First Impressions: Videos load 10-30% Faster. Finally something good that youtube did

[Matsy]

This....is actually working.

Videos load slower for me compared to when I use an extension which disables dash playback (the ridiculous buffering system Youtube uses) with just regular Youtube. Install this, bros:

Doesn't necessarily disable voting, it just doesn't show the votes on the video. You can still up/down vote it. Feather is awesome too, just a video and the ability to watch it quickly, love it.

YoutubeCenter Still king

[KieranThePCGuy]

Must give this a shot when I get back! Especially if it makes YouTube that little bit better. So cluttered I find at the moment.

[qwertywarrior]

[Sotti]

It has been available since july 2012, more than a year ago with other youtube experiments.

I have been using this years ago. I like it allot!

But after the Google+ change you cannot see comments. I had to go back.

i will have to test this on the mac, youtube seems to take longer to load at times with chrome 

[linusforsell]

New? It's been there since, at the very least, 2010. But it's a nice thing for people with slower connections for sure!

I believe youtube doesn't allow 1080p with dash playback disabled though But I was willing to take the hit(if it's around anymore) I found it so useful

[lazerphazer21]

sure feather is nice, but I still love my youtube centres!

thank jesus, no more comments

OMG Awesome! Thanks...

[ForsakenLive]

Feather has almost 2 years know. I use it a lot on very crappy connections.

[James_AJ]

This actually has been in the beta for the longest time.

[Kuzma]

Yeah tried it, was disgusted, left it.

Everything loads slower

[Nicktrance]

This does not really solve any problems, it just disables features which could be useful sometimes though.

[dark-D]

this performs better than some time ago. as for the comments, good riddance,

the only thing that bugs me is that the playlists don't work.

[Andrew48]

WOW it actually works! yey!!! looks like the old version of youtube. Maybe they realized they messed up with all the gui changes
