Every device I buy, something crap has to happen to it or it gets tempered with.

I noticed when I try opening certain websites, it doesn't work. For instance, with YouTube, the video completely blacks out. Nonresponsive. It's very weird. Same thing happens with trying to open Twitter.

And here's the weirder part, if I open a PRIVATE WINDOW, Twitter works just fine and YouTube loads just fine.

Can someone explain to me why this crap keeps happening? Why does it load just fine in private mode but doesn't work otherwise?
 
What Mac do you have?
What year was it made?
What version of the OS is running on it?

What browser you using with what extensions? Your post is absent anything even remotely useful to help others help you.
 
It was an Adblock thing. For some reason some YouTube videos won't play because of the Adblock. When I reinstalled it, it worked. Not sure why.

Thanks guys.
