Hello all,
youtube looks really odd on Safari, it is hard to explain, it looks like a very basic version of the original website.
Maybe I can insert a screen shot, here it is
I have deleted the cookies, tried with a different account and so on. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
thank you,
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

What kind of Safari enhancer do you have on there?
An extensionm plug-in or app?

Then restart your Mac, launch Safari. Try YouTube.
If that doesn't help, quit Safari if it's open.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Launch Safari, try YouTube.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
Ha!
I don't remember doing this, but I had a "clean youtube" extension installed.
Now that's gone and everything is back to normal,
thank you very much indeed!
Yay! You're very welcome, GIBa. Glad you're all sorted now.
Are some of the icons in your Safari menu come from that extension? I'm seeing a few that I don't think come with the native Safari.
Nope, and that was part of the problem, because there was nothing obvious to remind me that I had that extension installed.
Those icons are from other extensions that have not caused me any trouble (yet!).
For the record, from left to right: - fades the page to dark while watching videos - closes all tabs but the one you are on - add a tab - resize the window
Thanks, GIBa --
What extension are they from? They're new to me . . .
Interestingly enough I cannot find the tab ones here https://extensions.apple.com/
The one that switches the lights off while watching videos is towards the bottom of the page in the "Entertainment" category; this is the developer http://www.stefanvd.net/
If you have problems in the future, I would immediately suspect those extensions. Maybe turn off all extensions and try it again afterwards. But hopefully you won't have any more problems.
Youtube vs. safari
