Can you please explain a bit more what the problem is? Are you running an ad blocking extension?

Could you please provide a link to the video in question and the adblocker used?
Thanks

On Chrome on PC, I was using Dev tools to block ads from settings. On
Edge recently also started doing this using Adblock Ultimate browser
extension.
Didn't used to happen at all. It's Youtube; something about constant bot
streaming of videos to create ad revenue so the activity check added.
Cancelled usefulness of long meditation/sleep videos with constant
interruption.

was going to put empty container over vid, but for now I am trying the
old mouse-wiggler on this and see if this will resolve the issue.

This happens with many vids, mainly where ads have been inserted, but I
added the link to one if you need an example...https://youtu.be/_b6h4hYBSgM

Mouse wiggler JUST failed right after I sent you the link...

Thanks for the report and the clarification.

Given the description and the fact that it reproduces in edge too this looks like an interaction issue between YouTube and the Adblock extensions.
There really isn't much we can do about that I'm afraid.

Try reporting it to the Adblock extension team?
