Youtube crashes every browser on playback (fixed itself)

**RedStar** · 02-14-2010 #1

So I was strolling along today, I was bored. Went over to YouTube to watch some videos of people yelling at cats. I saw this thing about HTML5, i thought "cool" and picked opt in. So I went to watch or rather listen to the song I Hear Footsteps by Consequence (good song btw) and it worked beautifully. Loaded instantly, without audio skips.

A couple hours after that, I return to youtube for more videos of yelling at cats. I click on a video, and it freezes as soon as the video loads. I think, no big deal, and go back to the html5 page and click opt out. Try again, no luck.

I think "hm weird" and try it in Firefox. Freezes.
I think "okay not funny" and try it in Opera. Freezes.
I think "last resort" and try it in IE. After fighting all the bloatware packed with it, I go to a video. Freezes.

I really need some help.
