Adblock and youtube

[Moredhel]

Hey guys,

 

as you can read HERE, I'm having trouble with Adblock and youtube vids posted by members. When Adblock is enabled, I don't see the youtube videos mentioned/posted in any topic. However, when I disable Adblock here on the forum, I do see the video, but scrolling is very laggy!

 

Is something on the forum malfunctioning or is it my browser (Firefox, albeit an old version (3.X) since I hate the new look (way too IE-like)) ?

 

Cheers,

It's obviously Firefox 3.

As much as you hate to upgrade, the internet keeps marching forward, and thankfully, leaving crappy browsers such as IE6 (which required web developers to write 2 version of their websites) behind.

 

I'm using FireFox 8 and with the themes you can make it look like however you want.

You are also leaving yourself open for backdoor trojans. Update your software :)

Umm....yeah. Gonna need to upgrade. Sorry. However, you are in luck since Firefox allows you to customize the UI quite extensively. Try out some Retro themes.

 

Personally, I'm a fan of the Lava Fox theme.

If you don't like the new Firefox why not give Chrome a try?

The forums messed up my previous post, but I highly recommend Google Chrome. http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/cool.gif Look here for the various versions. I use the Dev version.

You might also want to try Opera. The YouTube AddsFree extension doesn't produce the problems you describe.
