Icons instead of named tabs #1002

Removing the popular tab, the UI still scrolls a little bit. This all depends heavily on how long translated names become.

If Icons were used that wouldn't be a problem, and it would be consistent with the top options on the main screen.

That could work as well, but I'm wondering, what icons could be unambiguous for this purpose.

Not really sure what the different categories are, but 👌Featured ⏰🌠 Rising/hot(?) 📁⭳ download ༄ stream 🔖🯊 bookmark

Bookmark and download is good alone. The icons on YouTube are abstract from what I can tell.

It could say what the category is within it (and then an option to hide that) On my device there is some space below the logo and icons and where the names are now.

Hey, if you are wondering how to put an icon instead of name tabs then it can be done easily using HTML.
