Try blocking all blockable ads first: you will save your sanity and your 
bandwidth. If you still get a crash ads probably are not the culprit. If the 
site then loads normally, that's another matter.

Online ads are infamous for issues including serving malware. Still,  nothing 
beyond the browser should crash on ads (windows payloads should simply not 
run). Question that may be unanswerable is whether all ads or a particular 
buggy or malicious ad are causing this.

Note that I myself have limited experience with Youtube as I normally block all 
Google and Facebook content except over Tor and only use Youtube there to 
force-download video, often with the site stopped at half loaded.

The first two tests were successful.  On the third test, I could not 
get youtube to play at all; it froze while loading ads.  I did try 
youtube.com/html5 ; however, I was still 
unsuccessful.


I have tried several times to log the results.  I checked my browser 
and popups are enabled for the web address, JavaScript is enabled.  I 
want to report results, and thought that this approach will be 
something the team could use.


No issues on bare metal here, so it is probably a Virtualbox issue with 
their video drivers. I know that I've had sporadic experience with 
virtual machines and the Lowlatency kernel. Virtualbox is good for smoke 
testing or non-heavy tasks, but not good for using it as a daily driver.


To reiterate, what you ran into was probably a virtualbox issue.

Just my 2c.

Hi all,

I tested Ubuntu Studio 20.04 beta in a virtualbox virtual machine.  The
first two tests were successful.  On the third test, I could not get
youtube to play at all; it froze while loading ads.  I did try
youtube.com/html5; however, I was still unsuccessful.

I have tried several times to log the results.  I checked my browser and
popups are enabled for the web address, JavaScript is enabled.  I want to
report results, and thought that this approach will be something the team
could use.
