New YouTube Layout - Improved YT doesnt work (v4.10007)

[Birphon]

Bug Report:

• Description: YouTube seems to be going through an A/B testing of its new design, that crappy mobile layout, as Incognito and other Browsers don't have this.
• Steps to reproduce this: Not applicable
• Since when?: Sometime within the last 12 hours of posting this
• Browser: Brave

• Are any errors shown in the Browser-Console?: Aside from Ad Blocker going brrrr, no. The only thing I can find releated is this.onpause functions.js:313 which is in this chunk:

  ImprovedTube.playerOnPlay = function () {
  HTMLMediaElement.prototype.play = (function (original) {
      return function () {
          if (!this.closest('#inline-preview-player')) {
              this.removeEventListener('loadedmetadata', ImprovedTube.playerOnLoadedMetadata);
              this.addEventListener('loadedmetadata', ImprovedTube.playerOnLoadedMetadata);
  
              this.removeEventListener('timeupdate', ImprovedTube.playerOnTimeUpdate);
              this.addEventListener('timeupdate', ImprovedTube.playerOnTimeUpdate);
  
              this.removeEventListener('pause', ImprovedTube.playerOnPause, true);
              this.addEventListener('pause', ImprovedTube.playerOnPause, true);
              this.onpause = (event) => {
                  console.log('this.onpause');
              };
  
              this.removeEventListener('ended', ImprovedTube.playerOnEnded, true);
              this.addEventListener('ended', ImprovedTube.playerOnEnded, true);
              ImprovedTube.autoplayDisable(this);
              ImprovedTube.playerLoudnessNormalization();
              ImprovedTube.playerCinemaModeEnable();
          }
          return original.apply(this, arguments);
      }
  })(HTMLMediaElement.prototype.play);
  };

• Does the bug not happen when you log out of YouTube? Then please copy your experiment flags list twice The issue isn't there when the user is logged out.

:O it seems like this was turned off for me for some reason. Odd since I share the settings between my browsers and it worked fine not logged in. Turned it on and boom fixed. tysm!
