[WORKAROUND] Youtube not loading videos

Well I just leave this in case it helps anyone

Lateley I've been having problems with youtube, sometimes the videos are loading extremely slow and some other times it just display the total lenght but never loads the video (I've tried leaving for like 30 min) it just shows the black box or the loading animation.

Somehow using Chrome User-Agent Switcher extension, if I set youtube domain to be laoded as Internet Explorer or Android/iPad the videos are loading perfectly and with any interruption.
I really don't knwo what is the problem but this workaround is working for me.

Hope this is helpful to anyone
