No description or upload date on YouTube

I've recently switched to Opera GX for Windows and I noticed that the upload dates on YouTube videos don't display. It shows how long ago but not the date on the actual video, as seen in the attached screenshots. Is there a way to fix this?

@newandimprovedgirly Maybe there is an extension that changes it.

@leocg I hope so, I've tried a couple but they don't seem to help. I've also just noticed I can't see the description anymore either compared to Chrome so it seems like an Opera-specific issue.

@leocg I forgot to mention it works fine in a private window (with extensions enabled I think) but not in regular ones. Clearing cookies didn't help.

This is a redo of a previous post. I've started noticing with Youtube on Opera GX (Windows 11) that it doesn't seem to display the video description or upload date. It works fine in a private window (with all extensions enabled I think, no vpn), just not in a regular one, as noted in the screenshots below.
Clearing cookies and enabling extensions for it didn't help either. Is this a problem with Opera, Windows, or my laptop specifically? -

@newandimprovedgirly It usually means a problematic extension, a setting or a broken profile.
Start by disabling all extensions and also try cleaning cookies and cache for YouTube and Google.

@leocg Aha, that worked! Wonder which extension it could've been, these are all the ones I have (I suspect one of the adblockers, I'll test each one to be sure):

found it, problem solved and new adblocker installed. (advice: ublock seems better than the opera built in one)
