You have freedom of choice but I'm sure you're aware of the fact that Internet Explorer is officially not supported any longer so if code changes on the Net then I.E. may have unexpected results. I use Google Chrome on multiple platforms here, much like VLC.

So I switched to Chrome. Now in that vane that says awwww man I love good old trusty IE though. Girrrrr I can't stand some of the things Chrome does with Youtube. but oh wells I guess. Tough love. For instance the vid right under the recommended heading in Chrome don't get an add to watch later button. In trusty old Internet Explorer all vids git an add to watch later button. In IE it respects you may wana go back and watch another recommended vid from the origenal list. Chrome Fire Fox and I'll bet ya Edge tottally dissrespectfull. Watch 1 vid long enough and when you go back the origenal list went bie bie. How rood as Jar Jar Binks says.
