Never seen this before..
Does it happen only with this extension active? What about trying to open a video in private ?
I'll try it on my Mac tomorrow.

So, i did a bit more of testing and i noticed that the issue is related to the blocking of a new element, caused by extensions like Adguard, Adblocks or PiHole, in any OS or browser. Turns out YNT was not the issue. Sorry about that!
