The "An error occured please update your web browser and try again error code 99999" error on YouTube typically occurs due to browser compatibility issues, outdated software, or incorrect settings. Here's how you can fix it:
1. Update Your Browser
Ensure your browser is up-to-date. Check for updates in your browser’s settings:
Chrome: Go to Menu (three dots) → Help → About Google Chrome.
Firefox: Go to Menu (three lines) → Help → About Firefox.
Edge: Go to Menu (three dots) → Help and Feedback → About Microsoft Edge.
2. Clear Cache and Cookies
Clearing the browser’s cache and cookies can resolve many loading issues:
Chrome/Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data.
Firefox: Menu → Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data.
3. Disable Extensions
A browser extension may be interfering with YouTube. Disable them to see if it resolves the issue:
Chrome/Edge: Menu → Extensions.
Firefox: Menu → Add-ons and themes.
4. Enable JavaScript
YouTube requires JavaScript to function properly. Check if it’s enabled:
Chrome/Edge: Go to chrome://settings/content/javascript.
Firefox: about:config, search for javascript.enabled, and ensure it's set to true.
5. Try Another Browser
Use a different browser like Firefox, Chrome, or Edge to see if the issue is browser-specific.
6. Update or Reinstall Flash Player
If you’re using an older browser or operating system, update Adobe Flash Player. (This is rare since YouTube primarily uses HTML5 now.)
7. Check Your Internet Connection
A slow or unstable connection can also cause errors. Test your connection by loading other websites or streaming platforms.
8. Disable Hardware Acceleration
Disabling hardware acceleration in your browser can resolve playback issues:
Chrome/Edge: Settings → System → Toggle off Use hardware acceleration when available.
Firefox: Menu → Settings → Performance → Uncheck Use recommended performance settings and Use hardware acceleration when available.
9. Reset Browser Settings
If none of the above works, reset your browser to its default settings:
Chrome: Settings → Reset and clean up.
Firefox: Menu → Help → More troubleshooting information → Refresh Firefox.
10. Check YouTube Status
Visit DownDetector or similar websites to see if YouTube is experiencing issues.
