YouTube desktop gets video queue, larger thumbnails and host of new add-ons

After testing a host of new features for the desktop version of YouTube, the company has finally started to roll out a new design for its desktop and tablet homepage. The new design now features richer thumbnails and higher resolution video previews.

Viewers can now assemble a queue of videos and will be able to manually tailor their channel recommendations.

The most visible change, though, will appear in the front page which has been modified to feature larger thumbnails and longer titles for better context at a glance. Sections have also been enlarged to feature eight videos at a time, up from five, according to an Android Police report.
