YouTube Issue: Is it just me?

[KING POJO]

Ok, I've noticed how YouTube has changed many things lately, but I don't think this is a positive change as much as it is a bug.
I've noticed that when I start a video, the bar showing how long the video is and how much you've watched doesn't show how much of the video it has loaded.
This royally irritates me because I'll be watching a video and it will abruptly stop to buffer.
I guess my question is: Am I the only one experiencing this? If I'm not, why would they do this?

 

[T1tan45]

It did that to me every once in a while, but it just stopped at one point. The bar that shows how much has loaded should be a grayish bar. Just give it a little time.

They shouldn't try to change things up so often.

 

[Tallim]

Yeah I have the same problem at the moment. I just watch my firewall activity to judge if it's finished loading.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

I don't get that problem, no. And that's a godsend cause I have very shitty internet. Maybe there's something wrong with your Flash plugin thingamabob? Try re-downloading that?

Thanks for the advice, I'll start working on this. XP
It it helps at all, I'm using Opera as my default for now, namely because IE has been tweaking out on me lately. XP

Opera acts up a lot.

When im browsing youtube and changing the volume the page will just randomly freeze.

Hmmm... what browsers do you guys suggest?

Use Chrome or Firefox 4. Preferably by far Chrome.IE and Opera are shit, end of story.

Also, I'm using both, and I have no issue with buffering or seeing what's buffered on YouTube.

Oh yeah?

Why is Opera shit then?

Opera, the guy above is talking out of his hat. Maybe Chrome if youre not concerned in the slightest about privacy, but please stay away from Firefox.

I don't even.... ask any web developer how they feel about Opera, and then ask about how they feel about Chrome. Seriously, I'm not just a fanboy or something; I use whatever browser performs the best, right now that happens to be Firefox 4's stable build or Chrome's dev build. As for privacy... care to explain why you think Firefox and Chrome are insecure?

I do like how quick Opera runs on my PC, and the only gripe I've ever had was with my recent problem. I'll use Chrome for now, though. At least till they fix they're $hit.

I dont even either. I have been using Opera for half a year now and it has not crashed once. Compare that to firefox, which on all my fresh installs of windows one day decided it was just going to crash randomly when I started it up, no matter how many times I reinstalled it, no matter if I ran it in safe mode or whatever the fuck. System usage is also a lot lower.

The only one that really tops Opera for me is Chrome which is even more efficient and stable as far as im aware, theres just the minor issue of giving Google the rights to anything you use the browser for. There are Chrome builds which are completely separated from Google (right?) but at that point it just comes down to preference.

Firefox is a piece of shit though.

If Firefox crashed, it was your system, not the browser. Google isn't an evil corporation trying to steal all your information, they handle privacy the same as everyone else. Opera and IE can barely render CSS3, HTML5 and Jquery animations. Firefox has the second most market share under IE only because IE is pre-installed on every copy of windows. Chrome has been slowly taking away from the IE and Firefox market share; it's now around 11%.

Chrome and Firefox are vastly superior to Opera and IE. End of story. Unless of course you can show me some facts that convince me otherwise.

I actually am a web-developer and I prefer Opera for most of my web surfing, I do however use all of the five big ones to check for compatability issues and to see if my websites display differently in any of the other browsers.
I do like using Chrome as well, mostly for the same reason I used to like using Safari (simplicity), but I prefer Opera by far.
I've never liked Firefox much, it always seemed sluggish to me, and it's major selling point seems to be expandability, which I don't much care for (My eyes start twitching when I see my dad surfing around in IE with his collection of 3rd party toolbars cluttering up the screen space.
Opera already have all the extra neat tools that I like to work when examining source code and the like, so it doesn't need to be expanded upon. And when you're just using it for normal surfing it's sort of a mix between the simplicity of Chrome and the recognizability of IE.

At least nobody in this thread has tried to argue that IE is superior to anything. I'm pretty sure that my head would explode if that happened.
