    @j_w_pepper, I share your pain. This year my Google Chrome decided to stop updating itself and it refuses to upgrade to the next version of the browser, so now there's some videos I can't play, some sites that don't work at all with Chrome (including some I need to use weekly) and other joyful outcomes. Whoooopy.
