Most that I click on won't play now :scratch:
Has there not been some sort of "crap filter" been engaged?
No problems here.

All I get is a :-
A error occurred , Please try again later , Been like it for weeks now
All good here, use Youtube as a regular music source.
Try clearing your cookies if you haven't already. CCleaner (free version) works well.
IMO Win 10 is very full of errors, and I would be lost without my cleaners despite people saying that they cause more harm than good.
Ccleaner is one of four I use, and it regularly gets out several hundred trackers and cookies, and if the computer gets stuck as happened yesterday, it can be used to force programs to close which wont.

Funny, it's a track I often use to check channels - the guitar solo at around 2 minutes is always placed distant right.
Great track (and album) though.
YouTube works fine for me but I do get occasional problems with music breaking up.
I use a Mac
I have a (new to me) Mac also, with Mojave, but learning to drive it is time consuming, and I'm having trouble with mail.

I only have problems on my ipad so it maybe more of a Mac problem, Windows 10 plays fine even with cookies.
It seems to me that with the decline in use of desktops and even laptops, more attention is paid to pads and phones, the numbers being much higher.
More proof of the fallibility of Windows; a complex email I sent to Germany a couple of days ago including a table of results, in reply had the data displaced, and also a copy of my CV from a drive to PC was corrupted.

I swapped from Safari onto Chrome and it works OK on that one , Maybe time to jump ship onto Chrome
a safari update most likely.. clearing data in safari for youtube should fix

ipad is full of adverts, some sites are almost unusable because of them. No adverts on my Windows computer.
Ipad is ok for short term use.
Chrome and YouTube both owned by Google.

Yes it is a real pain, lost everything, now have set everything up again.
On the Win Pc I use Adblock+, and the system say disable to speed up browsing.
Really funny, we are bombarded with ads and hounded by trackers and cookies, and so adopt defensive means to ameliorate this, and then we are told to disable these means because they are slowing down our computer

Yes that’s true and many US sites don’t like Adblock and some won’t let you access the site unless you take it off. I don’t usually bother, I just use a different site. I’m trying Adblock on my iPad now, before I could not get it to work but it seems to be working now, I really hate some of the adverts, not the content as I usually blank them but they get in the way all the time, this site is not good. Allmusic is another one that is really bad.

I don't get any ads. Adblock Plus is incorporated in the Maxthon web browser I use.
Advertising, the curse of the 21st century, you can't get away from it, tv, radio, phones, internet, etc etc
Sorry, rant over :rolleyes:

On Ubuntu here and no issues, I'd never go back to windows as I can do everything on Ubuntu as I did on Windows
