              This is my experience of trying to use the new volume slider on firefox

                😆 That must surely be a bug, indeed! I’m glad the interface hasn’t activated yet for me so I can get a more polished interface when it rolls out. Hopefully…

        As long as I can still use the J/K/L keys to play/pause and scrub, I see no issues here. People bitching just to bitch.

        That said, I do not enjoy the new “everything is bigger” view on YouTube’s home page that was clearly designed for mobile. But that can be fixed easily, so it’s a non-issue.

      Thanks, but it won’t really affect me. I only use Freetube when I want to access Youtube

        I use Freetube, but it’s currently not playing any videos for me.

          Always use the up-to-date version.

          Whenever there’s consistent playback issues there’s usually an update on the horizon. Just have to be patient.

          ETA: I’m watching videos on Freetube right now. It’s working just fine.

            I have 3 PCs running endeavouros, the other 2 updated freetube fine, but my main one has issues, even after uninstalling/reinstalling/updating to beta. I can open videos externally with mpv, but nothing will play on freetube itself.

              Wish I could help you figure that out, but I’m a total linux noob. The EndeavourOS forums would be a good place to start though.
