Weird youtube videos opening "glitch"?

On the main youtube page and subscriptions page, every time I just move my mouse on youtube videos and pass by them, the video just opens as if I click on them, when I'm not clicking at all.
Any fix for this?
Tried a different browser and this issue doesn't occur.
A friend of mine also has this weird issue but only on the main page.
I'm using regular Opera, btw.

@henname I would start by disabling all extensions.

@leocg Didn't work, tried it before. I don't know why it happened, it just...did, from one day to the next, and unfortunately it stayed like this.

Even though the problem didn't occur in a different browser, an extension exclusive to Opera could still be the culprit. Disabling extensions one by one helped me pinpoint if an extension was responsible.

@ishnlv As I mentioned before, the first I tried was disabling extensions. Just in case due to your insistence I tried again (one by one as suggested), and nothing, still got the issue. Tried re-installing the browser, nothing. Tried clearing everything (cookies, cache, etc), nothing.
Wierd.

@henname Okay, in this case, it might be a stupid question to ask, but are you sure that your browser is updated to the latest version?

@ishnlv Yes. (^^) Not a stupid question at all.
New issue now, the videos look "glitchy" look with microstuttering, but when i go fullscreen, they are fine. -

Does it happen in a test standalone installation too?

@burnout426 Unfortunately it did (Another thing I tried when it all started). Though now the 1st issue I had "seemed" to be fixed (youtube problem)? I don't know, I may need a couple more days to confirm, I mean, it may be back just like before. It's weird. I'll keep you posted.

I had the same issue in another browser (Mozilla, to be more precise), but I noticed that this issue does not work with all videos. And as you've said, they disappear when I go full screen. But I dunno what causes it.

@ishnlv The main issue is fixed apparently (videos opening by moving mouse on top of a youtube miniature). It fix itself, for whatever reason.

@henname OMG! It looks like your computer is possessed or something. That's really weird. What about other browsers? For one of my laptops, the Safari browser acted strangely. It opened many different tabs and only updated the entire system, and the help of VPN helped me to solve that issue. But nothing like that I had with other browsers.
