    It's a while that I suspect that YouTube is much slower in loading videos on all browsers except Chrome. This does not happen with other video websites, like Vimeo. The only explanation is that Google is making YouTube slower on purpose, so you switch to Chrome. Now, I don't have any evidence. It's just a feeling I have.

    If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe, but not a personality. [Charlie Brooker] ScrewTurn Wiki, Continuous Localization and My Startup

      I dunno. I use chrome and some videos on youtube just refuse to load, while others load instantly. So it could just be video dependant.

          Could it be that you have configured YouTube to always play videos in High Definition in the other browsers, but not in Chrome?

              Funny! Just sometime back, my Chrome browser took forever to connect to a video and I used IE and it connected pretty fast. :)

                      I've noticed Chrome starts playing videos instantly, like they should, instead of other browsers buffering half if not the whole video before playing them.

                        :) no... actually my IE got slower after installing crome. I did virus scans n some perf tuning but later i found that stopping Google Update serivce cured all the problems with IE. This service must be doing something more that whats its name seems to be. By that time i had lost my interest in it. So i removed it. :omg:
