Youtube Started Buffering in Chrome

Recently, watching YouTube videos in Chrome has been impossible. They buffer like crazy. I've never had this issue before.

 

-My internet is fast.

-Nothing else is hogging my bandwidth -- confirmed via network monitoring.

-My computer is fast -- nothing is hogging bandwidth

-Cleared chrome data/reinstalled. -- No extensions

 

Firefox and *Edge* work just fine.

 

Anyone else having this issue?

That's all you need to know. It's a beast.

Can confirm I've been having this issue as well. The video starts buffering infinitely, and when I try and leave the page Google Chrome stops responding for a while (then starts up again).

Agree with @evilarceus minus the not responding problem.
