[Solved]YouTube Display

Why does Opera display YT differently to every other browser with no banner header or the line showing Home, Video Playlists etc plus other quirks I have encountered but can't recall now. As a very long time (+20 years?) rusted on user I have never noticed this before until I happened to use a different browser after someone asked me what I had done to cause the problem. So I ask why is this so?

@christopherp563 I have no idea of what you are talking about but if a site displays differently on two browsers, you should ask the site why it is sending different info to the browsers.

Thanks for the helpful reply I don't think, did you even try using another browser and seeing if you see a difference in the way YT is displayed on both?

@christopherp563 Yes, and YouTube looks the same.
I will check again later.

Try the link below in Opera and another browser, I used the latest version of MS Edge but FF does the same thing. I have cleared all browsing history, cache etc but perhaps there are other things to do as well. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKNCbBWiMiXBVXUmUuu_dsQ

Note the top banner and the options under it such as videos and playlists are missing or they are on my screen. I also get a video error saying log in later on most YT videos when starting a video but if I wait a while then it goes to the video. The error problem only started a few weeks ago and I am seriously not using Opera for YT due to this last problem.

@christopherp563 Tried on Opera, Chrome and Firefox and the three displayed the same thing.

Already followed the instructions and checked with extensions disabled and, if necessary, with a clean profile?

Yep, did all that, did you look at it?

Except I just went back and checked and I had missed one extension which was the culprit. Problem solved and I thank you for your interest.

@christopherp563 Yes, as I had said my previous post.

And as I had thought I had done before I posted. Mistakes happen but some people don't admit them like I just did and did you ever do what I asked and actually compare as that would have been an immediate signal that I had missed something. I guess you don't want to admit that you didn't compare or you would have mentioned it. I have been using Opera since back into the early versions of it and I have occassionely used the various versions of the forum and found the other users very helpful but I don't think I will bother in future. Have a good day and be happy that you have given me good reason to not come back.
