I can't watch YouTube Videos in Safari

Safari 6.0.1 (8536.26.14) on MBPR with OS X 10.8.2.


Video window comes up black, it doesn't auto play and all player controls are missing. I've uninstalled all plug-ins and reinstalled Flash, and it still doesn't work.


IIRC, it was working fine last week and broke sometime in the last 2-3 days -- possibly after installing AdBlock from http://safariadblock.com.


Any ideas on what I can try to get my video controls to show up again?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion, 2.6Ghz 16Gb

YouTube was fine one moment and then not. Said I need Adobe Flash Player. Not possible with new software. Ran CCleaner, Scanned with Sophos, Reset Safari.

Followed link http://www.youtube.com/html5 . Turns out I was not setup on HTML5, so I opted in. That didn't work and opting back out didn't work either.


Wow. Going Cold Turkey on YouTube. I never really appreciated it until it was gone.


Any other suggestions?
