      I have had an ongoing problem over the past several months of using Opera that there are specific videos on YouTube that make the tab freeze up and stop responding, and I can't watch those videos. Whenever it happens it only happens to the specific tab that the video is on, all the other tabs I have open work just fine. When I open a new tab to play the video, the same thing happens again. It's not a problem with the RAM limiter because I don't have it activated, and I'm sure it's not a problem with my computer because this never happened when I used Google, only with Opera. I know it's not a problem with the length of the video because I am able to watch videos that are hours long, and most videos this has happened to were short videos only a few minutes long. Honestly I don't really know what the source of this problem could be and how to fix it, if anyone knows a solution then please let me know

          I have similar problem. It pretty much started when 2 free months of my yt premium run out(about 2weeks ago). Opera run ok earlier, now it hangs from time to time making one tab with the video nonresponsive, it seems to happen more often whenever I move opera window to my 2nd monitor. It either plays the video or hangs, there is no in between that hangs after some time, unless it happens in exact moment opera app window crosses to 2nd monitor.
          For now I can play everything on yt while using MS Edge, it had none of the issues above.
