YouTube's video freezes while audio doesn't

Hello,

It's been happening to me for a while that whenever I want to watch some YouTube's content, the video just freezes if I don't move the mouse through the screen every 3 seconds, which is annoying. I have no idea why this is happening. Everything is updated. My computer only has a few months since I bought it.


Thankyou very much.

MacBook Pro, iOS 10.3.3, null

Hi Alex


Restarting the computer works, and once restarted I can watch YouTube videos without them freezing. The problem is, it shouldn't happen, and I shouldn't restart the computer every time I want to visit YouTube.


Now; this doesn't only happen on YouTube; the other night I discovered that the same thing happened while watching Netflix. I restarted the computer and the problem was gone. This makes me think that it is not a YouTube-related issue; maybe something to do with Flash or with the browser itself.


I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, and the problem persists.


The browser I use is Safari. I haven't installed nor used any other.
