Last month, YouTube tested a new homepage with many useful features. The new homepage is now available to everyone. The list of new features hasn’t changed, even though some of them have been slightly tweaked:
* Combined list – Merges your subscriptions, friend activity, and recommendations into one easier-to-scan list
* Don’t miss a video – If a channel uploads 4 videos in a day, you’ll see all 4 – instead of just the latest video
* Delete anything – Hover over any video you don’t want to watch and click ‘x’
* Or just grey it out – Videos you’ve already watched will be greyed out – so even without deleting, you’ll know where you left off
* Help me re-find stuff I just watched – Your homepage will include your recent likes and favorites so you can easily get back to them
* Easy inbox – Links to your inbox (personal messages & comments) are front and center
* Load much more – Watch older videos – all without leaving the homepage
If you don’t like the combined view, click on “subscription uploads” at the top of the page to only see the latest videos from your favorite channels. Unfortunately, the homepage is no longer customizable, so you can’t hide the sections you don’t use.
