comes up on the tab, but that's it - no parts of the page load that I can see.
AFAIK "Chromium" should have always required a Flash Player plugin. The
integrated
Flash Player plugin is included in Google "Chrome" browser, but the open source
progenitor "Chromium" never had Flash capability, and IF you were able to view
Flash video using Chromium you MUST have had a Flash Player Plugin installed -
the
installation is normally globally available for all browsers.
So I installed the Flash Player plug-in to go back to how I used to view Flash
content. SeaMonkey, OmniWeb, and iCab will load youtube but Camino, Chromium,
and Opera will not.
Does anyone see a common thread here that I am missing?
There are so many different places that Flash Player plugins can be installed,
and
it's possible you have several different versions installed that might conflict?
Adobe says "Flash Player Uninstaller" is a helpful way to troubleshoot, so I'd
recommend using the uninstaller and then reinstall the latest version. Here's a
link:

Sorry, I misspoke. I was using Chrome, and when it stopped loading YouTube at
about v14 I switched to Chromium with no relief. I only have one instance of Flash
Player installed, and it is the latest non-beta version 11.0.1.52.
What I can't figure out is why Safari, SeaMonkey, OmniWeb, and iCab will load
youtube.com and Opera, Camino, and the newly re-installed Google Chrome will not.
Google Chrome hangs with "Waiting for ad-g.doubleclick.net... in the status bar
and then the "Page(s) Unresponsive" window pops up.
