Old vs new Freetube player ui

Honestly has me upset enough that im starting to set up a super old youtube setup i once had years ago in the before times

i just might rawdog youtube directly again old player also had the progress bar visible even when not focused, not anymore

over a years worth of work and we ended up with what looks like a mobile ui

It might not actually be that bad, but I rarely like change. In my opinion, all software should have a sort of legacy UI mode.

EDIT: You don't have to listen to my opinion.
- This sounds like "I want developers' lives to be a living hell if they ever decide to overhaul their UI."
  
  Fair point. Just because I have an opinion doesn't mean people should listen to me. /srs
- i asked them about a legacy option and their answer boiled down to a somewhat condescending "tough shit, get used to it"
What's wrong with it?
- Gigantic mobile like play icon
  
  Ui not aligned with the video borders anymore
  
  Progress bar not visible anymore unless you hover over the video
  
  I don't like it either. Don't need an 18cm big button.
What version is this? I'm not seeing that huge ass play button, and I'm on the latest beta build.
- im using the prerelease builds, just gotta go to the github, than to actions and than to builds
  
  Crap, so that's what I should expect to come down the line? Not a deal-breaker for me, but it is going backwards.
