YouTube Struggling After Update

I found the setting for other browsers (I can’t put links here):

Disable HTTP/3 (QUIC) Protocol in Browsers on User Devices

To disable HTTP/3 protocol on a user device, complete these steps in the relevant browser:

Browser settings can vary for different versions.

Google Chrome

In the browser address bar, type chrome://flags. Disable the Experimental QUIC protocol option.

Microsoft Edge

In the browser address bar, type edge://flags/. Disable the Experimental QUIC protocol option.

Mozilla Firefox

In the browser address bar, type about:config. Disable the network.http.http3.enable option.

Opera

In the browser address bar, type opera://flags/#enable-quic. From the Experimental QUIC protocol drop-down list, select Disabled.

Does disabling QUIC have any other negative effects, though?

I don’t think so, I guess the browser will use other (default?) protocol, but updating avast solved the problem for me (25.4.10068a (build 25.4.10068.933).

Ok, because some people are still experiencing an issue even after updating.

I’ll re-run that update, because I was blaming other things, but figured about an hour ago that since updating Avast to that version the other day, I’ve had all of these issues.

And for me, it is the Google sites, but it’s also that it’s causing CloudFlare and human verification to fail. I don’t think those are Google sites, but something about them in Chrome is problematic with this Avast glitch. I tried to see if I switch to Firefox it’s better and I’m passing the human verifications there with no issue.

Hopefully re-doing the recent update fixes it for me, but if not, your fix has worked for me. Thanks so much for posting it. Hadn’t even realized how many sites make use of the human verification check until I was failing it because it wouldn’t load properly.

Okay, update to my previous post. Updated Avast again and it did not fix the problem for me. So your disabling QUIC protocol is my solution until further notice. Glad the update fixed it for some, but Dinobot is correct, didn’t fix it for everyone.
