Google Chrome is my preferred browser, but for some reason YouTube videos won't load on Chrome. They will play for only 5 seconds then just eternally buffer. But on IE the videos will play just fine. Does anyone know why that could be or what is causing it?

 

YouTube used to work great for Youtube until one day it just kinda became awful like this.

 

I've uninstalled and re-installed Google Chrome completely since this issue has occurred and it didn't help at all.

 

Other computers connected to the network have no problem loading YouTube videos on Chrome 

 

My network speeds:

.... was this post just a coverup so you could post your internet speeds? :P cause they good

 

Lol. You know it's bad when YouTube wont load on Google Chrome. Google gotta get their game up

 

I would try quitting and restarting Chrome. If that doesnt work, try deleting/disabling plugins, clearing cache/cookies/history. If that doesnt work, reboot your computer. If that doesnt work, reinstall Chrome (try a stable version, if you're running a beta build). If that doesnt work, the only reasonable thing to do is buy a new computer :P

Just attempted that, again. No help sadly.

I've tried all that. Will try another fresh install. Hopefully that works
