[WinPC Resolved] Is YouTube still supported with this Browser ?


Recommended Posts

Hi, I was having problems with Youtube videos running slow in my Maxthon Browser so I asked for Support via Email .  The person who replied to me asked me to delete the cookies, which I did.

But I then discovered I couldn't login to YouTube.  Not only this I can't use it at all.  When I tried to visit YouTube I was shown a message saying that my browser isn't supported anymore :

Oops, your web browser is no longer supported.

YouTube works with a wide range of browsers. However, if you'd like to use many of our latest and greatest features, please upgrade to a modern, fully supported browser.

Is this just a mistake from YOuTube as it sounds hard to believe ??

Hello, Northern~

Maxthon really support Youtube. I think it should be some problems there.

please disable the highlight option in the following picture and have a try. It's in "advanced" in setting page.

what version of Maxthon are you using?

HI  QIK5L,   I am presently using Version 1.9.2.  I was using the version prior to this when the problems began.  So I upgraded to try and resolve it.  All I am getting is a blank screen but I can hear the video playing.

could it be that your maxthon is in retromode  ?

If for some reason you want to use retro mode (flash video), then i recommend to enable standard rendering mode

IT'S BACK  !!!   Thanks Ody.  When I saw that first screen shot of the 'Switch Browser Core Ultra > Retro',  that you posted, I suddenly remembered that I had been messing about and clicked that setting last week.  It wasn't possible for me to click on it again to change it back.

I wasn't in Youtube at that time so I didn't know it was significant.

It was only when I looked at your second screen shot and went in and Unticked that box to 'enable standard rendering' that the setting for  :  Switch Browser Core Ultra > Retro,  reappeared.  

It didn't work straight away on Youtube so restarted the Browser and suddenly YouTube restarted !!  

Thanks for your help and thanks to you other guys for your help also.  .

you're welcome

there's an easy way to switch browser core, just set your "view" options as below

"lightning" is for ultra, retro looks like a "blue square"
