OPT in/out from latest categoty browse UI change
Before the latest change, you had a very neat display of all available channels in the category.
after the change, you only have a tiny bit of the screen to actually browse - overshadowed by a giant preview that can't be removed.
this makes finding the stream you want so much harder, to the point of dejecting users from even trying.
an ability to simply collapse the preview would solve this without interfering with the change itself - although personally I think it's just not needed at all
EDIT: looks like you even made an "expand" button, but that does not really serve it's purpose (in fact on my case it even displays less streams at a time)

O novo esquema de visualização de canais (ou seja: após entrar nas categorias, ficou pouco intuitivo, com a rolagem lateral na parte inferior e um canal já sendo automaticamente transmitido) ocupa muito espaço na tela, suprimindo uma amostragem mais rápida das opções de canais.
Sugiro que seja retornado o layout anterior, com apenas tumbs dos canais disponíveis sendo mostradas na tela. -

I don't often complain about things on twitch, but this preview on browse thing is bad. Really bad. There needs to be a setting to turn it off completely because the only thing its doing is making me annoyed with twitch and any channel currently being displayed while I use the 1/5 of a screen provided to try and find another channel to watch.

To the point where, even though I've never sent any rant in my life, I have to say that layout is just bad beyond the limits of my imagination.
Bring back the /list view ffs.
Btw. i got blind the second i saw it. The only bright side of it is that i don't have to look at it anymore.

I completely agree that this update should be removed and the old design should be returned.

This is the worst design update that could have been done, the previous design was much more convenient, more spacious, the information and tags for each stream were clearly visible. Return the old design and don't change it afterwards.

the new update is absolutely horrible i cannot even look for anyone below the tenth most popular streamer unless i search for the exact name also "not interested" doesnt do anything but pause the stream momentarily what is this

Give us an option to use the old "List of streamers" design for Category page.
New design centers the most viewed streamer:
- blasting off videos as soon as user loads a page is never a good choice unless it is a page of that specific content (of that specific streamer)
- the video takes up most of the screen space, while the purpose of the page is to list contents of the category, not only one stream
- control buttons (play/pause and sound) are moved to an uncommon position, so the video starts shouting, it's hard to find a way to shut it down
The list of all channels is down at the bottom
- horizontal scrolling is very uncommon and requires more mouse movements
- it is much harder to read information when the list is horizontalAlso related bug:
- clicking a Category name under a stream on Following page brings you to Recommended channels list, not to the desired category -

I really hate the fact that when I try and open up a certain game, theres a big fat "recommended channel" at the top, with an itty bitty single row at the very bottom with all the other streamers. Not to mention, "expand" does absolutely nothing to show all the other streamers. There is no way to get rid of the big fat recommended channel. Please fix this!!
