Safari Browser

Recently updated to a new laptop so I thought I'd give Safari another go, after many years away. Loses sound or freezes on video content all the time, heaven forbid I try to watch anything that goes over 20 minutes on youtube. It seems like the 'fix' is to clear the cache AND cookies, but that lasts maybe a day. Oh well.
