OT: Boring Technical Question

[oldbagfan]

So bishbash commented in a post recently that he "can't embed." Since I switched my browser from IE to Chrome, I can't either. Have to resort to pasting links only which is not as good IMO.

I know there are a bunch of smart IT people around here who could probably give me a tip on how to work around whatever it is that Chrome is blocking that prevents a YouTube Embed from working.
Anybody?

Thank you, and good night.


We now return to our regularly scheduled programming . . .

All I did was go to the YouTube page, click on "share", then "embed and copy and paste the code.

Here's what I get when I do that:

"This page isn’t working

Chrome detected unusual code on this page and blocked it to protect your personal information (for example, passwords, phone numbers, and credit cards).
Try visiting the site's homepage.
ERR_BLOCKED_BY_XSS_AUDITOR"

OK, I googled the error message and there are various posts that inicate it's a problem with version 57 of Chrome.

I'm running 59.

Bummer. Turns out I am already running 59.

Obviously, I am not the only user who has run across this problem. Thanks to your suggestion to google the error message, I found the following which looks like it should fix the problem.

BISHBASH: If your problem stems from Chrome, check this out.

OK, don't do that. I tried adding the extension given in the article and it created a whole new problem. After telling me it couldn't find the path name, I told it to apply anyway. Then tried a test of embedding a YouTube video and now it says: Embedding disabled by request.

Time to have my IT guy remote in and fix this. What a hassle.

Actually, reading through, it's a pretty good comedy skit.
