I'm *always running latest Safari on MacBook Pro. YouTube hangs up. It >will< load IF I go into 'private browsing' mode. I've tried jacking around with every setting recommended. Still hangs. Makes me crazy. Help!
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
Hi. Did what you asked Yes, I was running Malwarebytes. In fact, as I examined it was told there's a new version. Upgraded to it. Signed out of test identity, went back to 'real' identity and Youtube seems to work fine now. Maybe Malwarebytes was the culprit? Either way, thanks SO much for your advice.

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?
Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown. If the log won’t post, try posting it in Pastebin and provide a link in a reply. After pasting the report in a PasteBin page, go to the top of the page, and copy the address in the URL bar. Paste that in a new reply. Pastebin

My problem is similar. I am running a vpn (Nord vpn). When I boot from another admin account the problem disappears. Does this mean that Safari won't run properly is the vpn is active?
The report from Etresoft program is at:

You are welcome. Glad to help.
Have you tried removing/disabling the VPN, restarting your computer by bottoms into your normal account, and then see if Safari works as expected? The VPN could be the problem.
I have disabled the vpn and restarted the computer - although I don't know what you mean "by bottoms" - and Safari is still not loading images.
I meant booting. The autocorrect took over. Try going to System Preferences/Users & Groups and remove all your log in items. Reboot the computer, do not open any programs but Safari, and test.
Did that but Safari still not loading images correctly. Maybe one or two images on a page with 10 will load.
No, still does not work properly in Safe Mode. I also have tried deleting the history and cookies in Safari, but problem persists. It appears that it will not load images; videos seem to be loading.
Something to check - go to Safari/Preferences/Privacy and uncheck Prevent cross-site tracking. Quit reopen Safari and test.
Did that, but no change. Still the same problem.
Some... websites won't load. YouTube, for example
