Youtube videos take a while to load

[Ianb262]

My youtube videos have not been loading all of a sudden. They used to work flawlessly but now look like this for about 30 seconds before they play

I have hardware accelaration on and I use AdBlock but Im not sure what else to do.

Thanks

Is it just in Chrome? Have you tried Edge (or IE)?

I have seen the same problem and with the latest version of Firefox, loaded last night, that went away.

Sorry, I forgot to mention it is in Chrome. It does not happen in Firefox but I do not like Firefox

I have had the same issues in Chrome before. It works flawlessly in Edge. I would recommend clearing the cache and restarting chrome.

Try to open them in incognito mode. CTRL+Shift+N

They load way quicker in Incognito so I tried uninstalling AdBlock but that did nothing

It could be another extension, but I had the same issue. This is the workaround that I use.
