Youtube was crashing Brave instantly and hard
I tried to reinstall but after the uninstall
the install file say I have the latest version, so no reinstall.
So okay I'll move to Opera it doesn't preserve the session so all my loggings have to be re-entered every time. I also use Firefox, this morning I'm getting a error message, FF already running. So that's dead in the water. Netfilx is giving me an error code So it got canceled.
It's a dumpster fire and I'm in it.

Good grief! This is nuts! I am not sure what to suggest. I have been using duckduckgo and brave, and what IU do is to go to brave, and click the Try Brave button to use it to search. It appears that youtube has a bit of malware in it.
