Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue with YouTube that seems to have started after the recent LVL 6 patch (Core: 114.0.5282.218) released on 2024-11-20. Here's what happens:

When I start watching a YouTube video, it plays fine for the first 30 seconds or so.
After that, the video suddenly goes into an infinite loading loop.
Eventually, it errors out and stops playing altogether.
I’ve double-checked my internet connection, and it’s stable and working fine on other browsers. This issue seems specific to this browser after the latest patch.

If anyone else is facing the same problem or has any suggestions, I’d appreciate the help! I’m hoping this can be resolved quickly since I really like using this browser otherwise.

Thanks in advance!
