Q: Slow youtube loading on Safari
Hi all!
I know there are tons of threads that discuss my same issue, but none have seemed to help.
Youtube takes forever to load on both Safari and Firefox but not Google Chrome. If I wait long enough it eventually logs on to youtube and when I click a video to play, it takes forever to load but will eventually play perfectly! It does it in safe mode and with a "test" account. Here are the things I've already tried to do to fix the problem.
1. Checked to see if I was in the youtube HTML5 trial...I was not. Even tried to opt in but it didn't make a difference
2. Reset Safari, emptied the cache and deleted cookies
3. Deleted data in the system preferences for Flash
4. Uninstalled Flash, restarted, installed Flash and restarted.
5. Repaired disk permissions then restarted...same problem
6. Rebooted in safe mode then restarted...same problem
7. Rebooted in test user...same problem
8. Rebooted in safe mode...same problem
9. Turned off the one extension I use (AD Blocker)...and still nothing.
I am running Safari 5.1.7 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 using Flash 11.4.402.287
I hope someone might have a clue as to why my Safari isn't playing nice with youtube anymore....thanks in advance!

Shouldn't be using Safari on 10.6 because Apple isn't issuing updates for it.
Use Firefox instead.
However I suspect your problem is due to a corrupted cache issue, do the #12 OnyX cache clearing routine and other Steps as needed.
