youtube suddenly stops loading

more options

Recently I have been getting an error where after some point in time youtube-related pages will stop loading when I try to open them or if they do load they will tell me I am not connected to the internet despite being connected to the internet. It will have occasional brief windows where it will load the site again before going back to not working but I have no idea what causes this change. I have tried clearing my cache/cookies and disabling my add-ons but neither of those things stop this from happening. Interestingly, if I restart in troubleshoot mode or open a private window, youtube will load perfectly. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this issue?

I don't know what you mean by URL as it's not any one specific youtube page, it's the entire site, and I'm not sure how to screenshot it because of that same issue.

I'm using a LOT of add-ons (I would be happy to take recommendations for ones that are redundant to be using) but again, disabling them doesn't seem to stop this from happening. They are:

Channel blocker (disabling this did not stop the issue) Disconnect Ecosia search engine Facebook container Google don't track HTTPS everywhere Library extension Minimal theme for twitter New XKit No Coin Shinigami Eyes uBlock Origin View Image WOT

I've got others that are installed but disabled so I don't think they should be causing this. Also I've found that going into troubleshooting info and restarting with the startup cache cleared makes youtube start working again for a brief period of time but it'll still go back to thinking it's not connected to the internet after a while. I should probably note I've been having issues with firefox taking up a lot of CPU/memory when it runs, to a degree I'm pretty sure that it's an issue with my computer needing upgrades (it's at least 7 years old by now so it's due for some) so that could easily be part of this.

update: I tried messing around in troubleshoot mode and it will still eventually get to a point where youtube will stop working in bursts, so it's definitely a browser issue rather than an add-on issue. It seems to be more likely to happen if i have tabs for others sites open at the same time as I have tabs for youtube open

I did not experiment in depth with private mode but I found people talking about this issue on reddit and the fix they found was to go to about:config and change security.tls.enable_0rtt_data to false, doing this seems to have fixed the issue

Clear cache files and cookies of YouTube app and browser.

Restart device. Other apps or low memory may cause YouTube not playing on iPhone.

It could be the date as well as the time of the pc that could be causing the trouble. Try this solution and see it if works.
