Post by: black_biff_stadler on January 13, 2017, 04:47:38 AM

I use Chrome as my browser and can't fuckin get youtube to work. This blows immeasurably cuz youtube vids are easily my number one source of entertainment. Somebody help me work this out please.

I know that disable hardware acceleration was something I had to do one time, which worked.

Is it just in Chrome that you're having the issue? Does it work in Firefox?

Chrome, IE, and Edge all suck. IE almost worked but died completely not even 2 minutes into a clip.

It looks like changing the dns ended up fixing the problem. Thanks a bunch to all of you for helping since I gave up my Saturday off to pick up a 15-hour shift and it would've really sucked to have today, my only remaining day off of the week blow ass because of youtube being inaccessible.

Using IE or Edge are a complete waste of time. Chrome is good, but I prefer Firefox.

Nah bruh. All my pr0n sites have been working just fine but that probably has more to do with the fact that I don't use my laptop for that but rather a different device.
