For some reason, the video player on YouTube has changed in Opera, while other browsers still use the old player. What could be the reason for this, and how can I switch it back?

@maks1q1q Opera One, Opera GX or Opera Air?

@maks1q1q What has changed? The only thing that seems different is the position of the volume button.

Before, the video player looked like this:

Besides the poorly designed volume button, the new player also lags, when the player interface is visible.

@maks1q1q Yep, basically the volume button is in a new position and the slider is now vertical.

By the way, I still have the old layout.

@maks1q1q So YT redesigned (or testing) the player and Opera nothing to do with it.

@andrew84 Thanks for the reply. Well, if these are tests of a new player by YouTube itself, then there's nothing we can do about it.
