Description
Hello!
Here is an enhancement idea. Being able to have the Legacy YouTube player on new layout.
Legacy YouTube, red meaning not clickable and no overlapping container.

New YouTube, blue meaning clickable and overlapping container.

Legacy Player + New YouTube layout

What do you think about this additional enhancement ?
Thank you very much!

Research direction
The issue provides screenshots of the legacy player and the new YouTube layout, but names no files or tests. Start by locating the extension's player layout and customization entry points, then confirm the intended scope with maintainers. Done should provide the legacy player behavior within the new layout without the overlapping or clickable container shown in the issue.
