Safari for Mac is killing me!!!!! (affects Google images and YouTube)

Issue is Safari only, not Chrome. (I use Safari)

Trying to login to YouTube: http://i.imgur.com/b03if.png

Clicking YouTube in Google toolbar (on goolge.com) sends me here: http://i.imgur.com/4z9T3.png

I cleared all of the cache, and tried restarting my Mac, but the issue remains. I'm sure someone here has encountered this issue before.

P.S. it logs me into Google.com fine.

Switching to Goolge DNS didn't fix it.

Update: now YouTube doesn't work AT ALL.

Update: YouTube is back, but issue remain. This is driving me nuts.

Guck Foogle!!!!

   

sorry man, had to do that, maybe google is just being a bunch of assholes and trying to disable it in safari? 

wouldn't put it past those skanky dogs to bug it up now and then but then again it might just be swamp gas from a weather balloon that was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus messing up the DNS in you part of the world 8^)

I don't particularly like Google, but you're paranoid.

It's fine in Chrome, as I stated. How do you reinstall Safari on Mountain Lion? I don't know if that's the problem.

i just fully 'reset' Safari, so this will give you an idea of the types of issue I'm getting only in the Safari web browser:

SOLVED

Issue is back :-(

Safari caches problem (thanks to them being hidden in Mountain Lion), I dumped them.

P.S. Since when did Apple think doing a full reset in Safari shouldn't dump its caches. Not good.

Oh Oh!!!!

Not that I aware of. I just restored my whole system from a Time Machine backup. And I turned my Extensions off. But I still get the issue.

The following is the text from the error.

(very interestingly, both Chrome and Firefox now show an error (though both still manage to log me into YouTube, while Safari cannot, no matter what I try)

Safari, YouTube login error:

Chrome and Firefox, YouTube login error:

Sorry, we found some errors:

• Invalid url forwarding parameter
• Sorry, your login was incorrect.

Even though Chrome and FF show an error with a line that reads "sorry, your login was incorrect", they both successfully log me in, clicking the YouTube logo and visiting the homepage reveals I am in fact logged in.

UPDATE:

I switched my DNS and now the Safari error in YouTube seems to be matching the error seen in both FF and CR, and also logs me in.

It is possible the switching of my DNS and the timing of this is purely coincidental.

UPDATE, AGAIN:

Issue is back again. Can't login YouTube in Safari now.

PHEW!!!

Should be fixed soon then. Hours wasted, lol.

I'm in Waterford on UPC, this is driving me nuts, too.

Yeah, it's working for me too.

Though this error seems to be affecting all browsers now (I'm thinking because of the number of redirects):
