Youtube continues to be one of the most frustrating sites to navigate, and this new redesign is no different.

Take this query result for example:

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=republican+debat...

Every single video title gets truncated, removing the most valuable piece of information (which part it is).

And a playlist:

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL34F010EEF9D45FB8&...

Barely get a few characters to show what the videos are actually about.

And a channel:

http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleTechTalks?blend=3&ob=4...

You can't even hover over the titles to see the full video description here. You have to click on them, which stops your current video from playing.

Am I missing something? Does anybody know of an alternative Youtube interface (userscript, app, site, etc) that isn't so frustrating?
