How do I restore the old youtube layout in safari

My layout has suddenly changed to a 4 large vid grid across the screen. I prefer the older style grid of the smaller vids. I can’t find a way in the settings to change back to the older style. Any suggestions?

Safari YouTube only on 360p Hello I keep going on YouTube to watch videos, but the problem is over the past few weeks, I haven’t been able to change the HD quality. In the settings on YouTube, the videos had the option of 360p up to 720p. But now there is only 360p. I can’t enjoy watching videos if I can’t see them clearly. Please help me.

Videos on safari Since this last update 16.4.1 I believe, every time I try to watch videos on safari on full screen I get this message “wathever site is on full screen swipe down to exit”, but the problem is whenever I would go on full screen on a video safari used it’s on video player and now it seems the video player of the whatever website is been used instead, which is kind of annoying since most of video players don’t have the same features as the safari has. Did anybody else notice this? Is there a way to go back to how it was?

That would not be a Safari setting, but it may be a setting that can be changed on that website. Contact the website developer or investigate its settings. They may be found by clicking the YouTube "three dots" icon on that page.
