    If you are using the HTML5 youtube player: YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. then Chrome is probably your best bet. Otherwise your experience will depend on the version of your Flash plugin and not your browser, however, I believe the ActiveX Flash plugin is more "optimized" than NPAPI Flash plugin.

    I am using IE8 at the moment for watching youtube vids which is fine but when i try to watch them in HD it take a long time to load even though my connection speed is good so i wanted to know what is the fastest browser for watching HD youtube videos?

    The issue is at their end.

    It does not affect all Videos only some and even non HQ/HD.

    You can Google it and see the past month or so its gotten really bad.

    I cannot load some of the non HQ ones at random times but load a 1080p one fine.

    Ther is an App I see last week somewhere, it claims to sort this out and its free.
