[SOLVED] Latest Updates disables video in You Tube in Chrome

[Daveyboy]

Hi Steve


Below I have listed the information you requested HOWEVER, you should know that this morning You Tube, Vimeo etc are once again showing a white video screen on Chrome Browser (but work fine on Firefox) so my ascertation that Lite Tweaks is causing the problem may very well be false - especially considering this mornings findings and the similar issue raised by FunkAndCode in their post.

Chrome was installed by default when I installed LL

Are *all* the 5.8 Lite Tweaks graded as 'Safe' really selected  - YES, with the exception of "Taskbar Restore" as I wish to preserve my personalised taskbar.
My method for using Light Tweaks is as follows :-
1)  Open LT
2)  Highlight the  "Grade" Column and sort so all caution rows are listed at the top with all safe options listed below.
3)  Tick in every "Safe" option with the exception of "Taskbar Restore"
4)  Begin
5)  Repeat steps 2-5 until everything clear

I hope this helps

Edit - to remove spurious font changes
