I've been having this problem lately, and I couldn't find the source of it, or solutions anywhere.

When I open up YouTube (can't confirm the issue appearing elsewhere), the first video I watch goes on smoothly. If I open up another one, then the video stops, starts buffering for a few seconds, then quickly plays the missed out segment at many times normal speed. When it finishes, rinse and repeat.

I can temporarily fix it by closing the browser and opening it up again, but it's highly inconvenient and very annoying. Is there anything I can do to solve this?
