Fancy a look at the new-look YouTube?

So the world’s favourite video sharing website is about to get a makeover. Greater social integration is the name of the game, as is the desire to bring YouTube aesthetically close to its Google parentage. Hopefully YouTube won’t become addicted to these cosmetic procedures like Facebook, which seems to make changes to its layout on an almost monthly basis.

Images of this new look YouTube have been circulating for a few days now, but if the more tech-minded of you fancy a look at it for yourselves, here’s what you need to do:

Go to YouTube and open up developer tools. You can do this in Firefox by pressing [Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + K]. If you’re in Chrome, try [Ctrl + Shift + J] or [Cmd + Alt + J] if you’re on a Mac.

In the window that appears, copy and paste this bit of code.

document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=ST1Ti53r4fU"

Close the console, reload the site and experience new look YouTube for yourself.
