YouTube playback error

I experience a problem on youtube playback in Safari. I do not know if this is caused by Adblock, but everything works when I use Firefox

Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.

I think Safari has some problems because I browse YouTube with my AdBlocker turned on in FireFox and it works fine. Also, I have a different Windows machine which has Chrome on it with AdBlock Plus and it works fine as well. You should try by disabling AdBlock first, then disabling the extensions one by one. If it doesn't help then try to reset the factory settings in the browser. Let me know if that works.


Thank you

I did this. Only have two extentiones installed. One is Kaspersky and the other is AdBlock. I turned off the Adblock, and the problem was resloved, but now I have to deal with the ads again. I did however manage to get less adds by changing my ad preferences in my Google account, which I use to sign into YouTube.
