      Whenever I open Youtube it works just fine until I open a video, and then it stops working. The loading bar circle thing shows up as it it's about to load, and then the whole page freezes, but audio still plays and I can click on things (pausing/unpausing, changing videos, going to youtube homepage) even though they aren't shown on screen. Sometimes it won't even show the loading circle and just has a black screen with a couple elements on it, like a gray bar where the video title should be. Disabling hardware acceleration fixes it, but I would really like to have that on and Youtube has always worked before with hardware acceleration on. Any help?

        After a few restarts it kinda worked once, it loaded but ran super slow so I closed and reopened the tab and the problem was back. I updated all of my drivers and it didn't fix anything. It seems like everything is still running in the background, as I can even do the miniplayer thing and it works just fine, but the Youtube tab itself is stuck on the same screen.

          Just went to Rooster Teeth and the second the video starts playing the same thing happens. The whole screen freezes where it is but the video keeps playing sound. I would love a fix, because I like watching videos while I play games but that is very difficult when I can't watch videos with hardware acceleration on.
