YouTube is currently testing a brand new interface for its website. A few lucky YouTube users have received an e-mail from YouTube containing a link to test the new layout.
If you have not received any such email but want to test the new design right now, no need to worry.
Today we are going to share a small and easy to use trick to get the secret YouTube design right now even if its not enabled in your account.
This method uses a simple cookie to enable the new layout. Following are the required instructions:

2. Now press following keys in your web browser:
Internet Explorer -F12
Mozilla Firefox - CTRL+SHIFT+K

Does Google ever just let things sit for years at a time after they are done "fixing"? They just got done redesigning user channels, video page, and the homepage within two years or something and I hate all of them. The redesign is even worse that the previous. Plus there are really a lot of things still broken that they have been ignoring since YouTube was born. Ever see comments like you are the 3XXth viewer when there is a new video in your subscriptions?

I like it. It seems to be a little more organized now.

This is somehow similar to Cosmic Panda. Cosmic Panda redesigns all the stuff but not the channel appearance. So for me I assume its a second version of Cosmic Panda. ( I may be wrong )
