Safari 26.6.2 is experiencing errors loading YouTube videos and website forms

Safari has been acting up in the last two weeks. On Youtube it is returning errors of not being able to load videos of various shows. It also has errors when I try to fill out forms or interact on other sites- encounters constant errors I have to go to Chrome to solve the problem. I have up to date Safari browser-26.6.2 I'm not sure what to do about this.

What you don't have is the current Tahoe 26.7.2 update and its accompanying Safari 27.2. You can find these in System Settings > General > Software Update — below the offering for Golden Gate 27.2.


Google is behind YouTube and the Chrome Browser. There may be YouTube videos specifically encoded for Chrome browsers. That is not Apple's fault. I use the Safari 27.2 browser all day long without issues, though honestly, not for watching YouTube videos.

Thank you. For more context, my Mac has auto update and I'm at Tahoe 26.6.2- and it hasn't suggested another update. Should I force update? The odd thing is I use Youtube all the time with Safari. Also Facebook won't display videos either the last few days with Safari but I can see them with Chrome.
