[/quote] I am using what is arguably the last true ThinkPad that was made around when IBM sold out to Lenovo. Even though this laptop is a bit dated, it was badass when I bought it and it is still going strong. There are graphics driver issues with Windows 8.1 however. And it pisses me off too because I know that is just a tactic to try and force me to buy a new PC. So in a way I guess it is my way of protesting. Anyway, there are no viruses in this add-on dude. Thanks for looking out... [/quote] Have you managed to get any driver to install yet or is it using the no driver "standard vga" in device manager? If you have not had a driver install yet, i can tell you it is indeed possible through a little tweaking of the driver inf to get a windows xp driver to install on 8.1 even for out dated vga chips.

I just installed an Add-on for FireFox called HTML 5 player.
Less Resolution but fast and smooth so far.

I also installed The NoScript Firefox extension
GLP is remarkably faster and no lag at all.

I am in IT and though it is too early to be able to conclude for certain, I am pretty sure this will solve our problems with flash and Firefox and YouTube.
The only downside is lower resolution with the HTML5 player. It supports 360p and 720p currently but there is a beta release that supports 4k so more than likely this will be a non-issue soon.
NoScript has really impressed me. GLP for example loads far quicker and my experience on GLP has been greatly improved.
Finally! Browsing is pleasant again. There are other very similar alternatives to NoScript but not as highly rated.
There is a slight learning curve as in you have to configure certain options on site by site basis or page by page.
Not difficult though. Operations such as posting on GLP will require allowances in the options menu at the bottom of Firefox.
No malware or adware in these so you have nothing to lose.
Post back and so we can determine if this might be a good solution for everyone who is having problems.
