During the newest update, entering a stream defaults to a view with chat open and ads playing(for most streams). While ads are playing, the normal UI is locked out and unable to be used. I can't close the chat tab, follow, or view a profile while the ads are playing. This is terrible functionality.
Additionally, having the UI use 'auto-hiding' is extremely annoying. There's no longer a faster manual way to hide the UI and enjoy the stream.
I used to just click a stream and I could put down the remote and enjoy. Now I have to wait for ads to play, then turn off chat, then wait a few more seconds for the UI to hide itself. This is extremely obnoxious.
