Umhh... so? I dont see how this issue got resolved in the linked ISSUE: thread

So far I have figured out that reloading the youtube page of the video can make the options reappear.

It does not happen when you disable the add-on? Try opening a video in private navigation with no add-ons enabled to see if it happens, then activate only YNT. And if the issue is back, try to switch the toggles to identify which feature is causing it.

Just like I said in the linked thread, I cannot reproduce this issue on my side, for me playback speed works like a charm. I can't fix something I can't see.

I'm pretty sure it's not related to the add-on.

It's Adblock add-on issue: Youtube explicitly mentioned it on Twitter: https://x.com/TeamYouTube/status/1997708126955409427
I am still not sure as it keeps replicating even after the disablement - the issue is definetely not on No translation add on side, most likely being caused by Youtube itselg
Actually the best way here is just to reload page

Probably selective A/B testing again, maybe they remove classic speed selection soon and leave only that slider.
And of course Google say all issues are related to your AdBlocks.

Well if that is the case: the slider then doesnt even work. 🥸

Yes!
I was lead to believe it is that addon bc after the bug disappearing in troubleshooting mode and then turning all addons aside from no translation I must have by accident reloaded the page and thereby making it disappear, thinking it was the addon.

👍🙏 - yup - see abov for the explanation.
It must then be uBlock origin or privacyBadger or Disconnect - wont figure it out though; will just reload pages.

Thanks again!
