What's wrong with IE?

With IE - I can't view videos on here - all I get is a black screen!

ITV Hub won't work for me.

and now since yesterday I can't load face-book scrabble.


When I change to Google Chrome all the above things work perfectly.

Hurrah for Google Chrome.

Can anybody explain why IE is such rubbish for me?

Re: What's wrong with IE?

think the answer is IE is an old internet browser so the newer videos and things will not load on it. i always use chrome as its got a built in ad blocker so saves some problems.

Re: What's wrong with IE?

I googled the problem and the solution worked. I couldn’t view vids on FB or on YouTube, just got green screens.

Not looked at that link but will check it out, see if it is what I had to do.

This is the method I used. Took a screen shot of someone’s answer.

Because it's crap!

I use Chrome for most things.

The only thing I find it doesn't do well is downloading YouTube videos. I think that might be something to do with Google not wanting people to do that for some reason.

No problem though. I just use Firefox to open the YouTube video and YouTube Downloader HD to download them, which I can then save to my computer.

I use Chrome and don't have any problem with videos (except those from C4, which is their fault).

Google bought YouTube in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion; YouTube now operates as one of Google's subsidiaries.

I tried YT on W10/IEII and I get the black screen, too.

Glad you posted that, I have tried to explain this so many times to members who get black screens. They won't listen to me. I deleted IE and made chrome my default.
