      Get better internet.

      I can watch videos just fine, but the wide-screen function just seems useless.

      i think its win, sans fail, many videos were impossible to watch without fullscreening them, and even then it was difficult, ive always thought youtube needed a widescreen, but for people that like it smaller, i think there should be a switch.

      What kind of browser do you use? Mine's Chrome. That's probably the reason why.

      google wants to eat your computer. O_O O O

      firefox > chrome, it may be just an opinion, but speed has been tested, and FF came out on top, power and flexibility are of course also a plus.

      I hate YouTube to begin with, but I think that this was a good idea... Maybe it will help the definition, then maybe I'd go back to YouTube...

      Honestly, I'm surprised widescreen Youtube took this long. But forcing all the fullscreen videos into widescreen flash players just seems stupid. It should just be used for the videos that actually are widescreen. While those videos probably number very few right now, I expect a surge of them to pop up now that it's an option.

      It's not an option. It is being forced upon all YouTubers.

      And I am typing this up using Firefox.

      Perhaps it's just a transition phase. It is new, so they'll put it in everyone's face to make sure that they know about it. Maybe they'll make it an option at some point.

      It would be nice. To have a choice.

      Opera here, super fast.
      Chrome is fast but lacks an adblocker for me to use it. You could always go over to "Chrommium" the open source version before being branded with Google.

      Opera > Firefox > Chrome

      I do like Chrome, and it is very fast. Firefox is better for youtube though.

      Opera's OK, but I haven't used it in a while. It feels like an awkward version of Firefox to me.

      To fuel the browser war: you should all use Internet Explorer!

      christ, this is about youtube, not google and its attempt to eat your computer from the inside out.

      i hope there will be a switch, this isnt the best for all videos...
