Messes Up YouTube Videos

Post by TE5LA »

I would like to keep using this browser but YouTube watching is a nightmare. First, it would display most videos at 360p instead of higher resolutions. I noticed it when my own uploads were 360p only and I knew I uploaded HD ones. I thought YouTube was removing the HD version because some other videos had the HD resolutions, but none of my own.

then I read some posts in this forum that suggested it was a Flash issue or HTML 5. I installed the extension to disable HTML 5 and it worked a bit. I was able to view my videos in 1080p but every time I mouseover the YouTube play bar near the resolution area, the entire video would shrink on the screen and contain a lot of black masking and the controls disappear. Like this:

None of this occurs in standard Chrome. Any ideas how to correct?

Well, stick a fork in me, I'm done.

I wanted to like this browser, but not playing YouTube videos higher than 360p is a deal breaker. Still don't know why this is an issue if this is based on Chrome, which has no problems at all.

Good luck with the browser.
