The icon change is a new feature with Google chrome version 21 as for your videos try to disable or remove some extensions and restart Google chrome after your disable/remove and try watching a video.

Well thankfully the lag is starting to go away, but the icon on the left... is that an error? Also, is there a way to downgrade to Google chrome 20?

No that's not a error it's just a new icon Chrome uses you can see all icons here

That's annoying I liked the old icon better. Bye the way the browser still lags early in video and stops lagging when the video is done loading.

do you mean the video keeps buffering or are you trying to multi task while watching a video?

 

[Rick99]

I try to multitask videos but even when I don't multitask it buffers but the thing is I have pretty good internet it's 20-35 MBPS and once I got 57.75 MBPS on Wifi.

Just let the video buffer me Personally it buffers faster on 720P or 1080P HD Try switching the Quality of the videos and pause it and let it buffer have you tried removing some extensions in Google chrome like i asked and if you have any extensions left post them as a screen shot

In this situation it is better to use Firefox, isn't it ?

Uninstall Google Chrome, and reinstall it again, that would be the easiest way to fix those icons issue.

I do watch all videos in 720P currently as I have a 720P monitor on my laptop. As for the extensions I have:YouTube™ Ratings, YouTube Feed, YouTube Downloader, Skype Click to Call, History Button, Google Mail Checker That's how I reply so fast BTW, Complitly plugin for chrome, Awesome Weather Widget [ANTP], Awesome New Tab Page, Auto HD For YouTube, Adblock Plus (Beta), AdBlock. Sorry I couldn't post a screenshot my monitor is only 1366x768.

 

[Rick99]

Very true I like firefox but its a little slower then Google chrome. I did find a google chrome alternative that seems to be faster then both its called Comodo Dragon.

 

[Ascendents]

Yeah Comodo dragon uses the Chromium Open source of google chrome but comodo added some secure features like comodo dns and what's wrong with taking a screenshot just use print screen or Prt scr

 

[Rick99]

It's my monitor resolution it wont get all my extensions in the shot.

Just use the Snipping tool and post it
