Unable to reproduce this issue on reported version 63.0.3239.108 using windows 10 with steps mentioned below. 1. Launched chrome and typed youtube in omnibox. 2. In search results selected first link and observed successful load of youtube page. @Reporter: Could you please check the issue by creating fresh profile which do not have any apps/extensions. If issue still persists try uninstalling and installing chrome again. You can download build from https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel.

You likely have some malware or an extensionc ausing that behavior. Try running the chrome cleanup tool which can help you remove malware from your computer (See https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2765944?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en) |
