youtube expands to fullscreen inside small screen

The title probably sounds like a bit of an oxymoron but it's the best way i can describe it. Just for the record i hate what they've done with the mobile youtube app. Acessibility is a major must for me and all those options get taken away when you view youtube through it's mobile counterpart. So basically i tend to use the desktop view. i Installed flash through thier website archive so now i can view videos in 720p or 1080p on my galaxy note 2.
My issue started today and it goes something like this; whenever i try to fulscreen something in dekstop view it expands the screen but it tries to force the fullscreen into the existing defualt one. So i can see like a portion of whatever i'm viewing and when i slide my finger across the screen it basically let's me scan the video all whilst inside the confines of the original one. Make any sense? I'd really appreciate if someone had any info on this as a google search yielded nothing on my issue. Thanks

Sounds like you are using a browser instead of the YouTube app. You will have a much better experience using the official app.
