Went onto youtube today only to find my view is wcrewed, video highlights are only 3 boxes along a rox now prior to this i had 7 smaller boxes per row,
is there a way to repair this or fool youtube in some way. I use chrome normally but have today switched to brave as that give me a better youtube layout

thanks

Stupid question - have you tried zooming out? Control key and then mouse wheel or +/- buttons

That happened to me once. One of my kids has adjusted the zoom to 120% accidently and it messed up just that one site and I couldn't work out why until I spotted the little magnifying glass in the address bar 4 days later :D
 
YouTube tend to run experiments with some users, when it happened to me i deleted YouTube cookies.

Sometimes I've found i have to delete YouTube cookies a few times until they decide not to use me (my IP) as an experiment.
 
so far none of the above has helped, if i however use edge browser the view is as i want it.
chrome and brave browsers the view is screwed up
 
Does it look like this:

If yes welcome to the new Youtube layout that everyone hates.
 
Its probably the new crap layout they are experimenting with.
Try logging out and clear cache / site data and log back in.

Or could try this on Ublock Origin not sure if it still works (Was posted on reddit a while back ) -

  1. click on uBlock icon.
  2. click gear icon "Open the dashboard".
  3. Click "My filters" tab.
  4. add line "youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.kevlar_watch_grid, false)" and apply the change.
  5. hit refresh on browser and enjoy old layout.

There's a great extension called YouTube enhancer on Firefox. I suspect it's available for other browsers. Gives a lot of control on how yt appears

Unfortunately it does nothing for the issue i have the only way i can get a decent view at the moment is to log out of yt altogether
 
Do you have something like uBlock installed?

If so try adding these two rules to your filters..
Code: 
www.youtube.*##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid:not(.grid-disabled):style(max-width: 80% !important)
www.youtube.*##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid-6-columns:style(width: 80% !important)
 
this is my view logged in

thanks for the info, does nothing when logged in :(
 
Works for me, what happens if you change max-width/width to something like 160%

If it still doesn't change anything then maybe something's wrong with your cosmetic filtering on uBlock as all that does is change the width of the columns on YouTube, regardless of whether you're logged in or not.
