have you tried updating your filters? google breaks it sometimes, and updating them fixes it most of the time.
if it doesn't, then yeah there are great alternatives like freetube or invidious!
@umbrella I wouldn't think it's a filter issue? The video works fine other than regularly not having enough buffer to keep playing.
as i said, google breaks them sometimes, and this is exactly how it usually looks like. update them and try it out.
@umbrella Huh. Hadn't ever looked that deep into UO yet, install it and it does its thing... Found the button to force updates, I'll try that next time.
yes. since you are there, look into enabling the "cookie notices" and "annoyances" filters, they are pretty great too over the stock ones!
