Youtube - Stop Buffering

[manu1991]

I wud close the tab (ctrl-w) and reopen it (ctrl-shift-t).

That was the fastest way I cud figure out without touching mouse!
Wouldn't refreshing the page do the same thing?

refreshing actually refreshes the entire page. closing the tab and restoring it would open it from local cache.

opera actually offers both. reload and refresh...

i think pressing enter in the address bar does a reload and not refresh. reload is faster than refresh.

Well refreshing the page wud reload everything from server. Ctrl-shift-t will bring it back from memory.

strange. for me, reopening tab and refreshing take the same amount of time.

on complicated pages that would be the case. this forum does not load up fast from cache for me for example. but in general cases refresh would be slower than a reload.

facebook's video player sucks. youtube's video player is probably the best in the market.

If you are talking about YouTube videos inside Facebook - try this 'hack'. Once you decide you don't want to watch the video, just click on the YouTube logo on the bottom bar of the video. It opens up the video in YouTube in a different tab. Close that tab. The good part though is that once you have clicked on the video on Facebook, it would stop playing.
