I was using Firefox with German set as my default language. When browsing YouTube and right-clicking a video thumbnail on the homepage, suddenly a lot of new options have been added to the right-click menu related to playing the video, such as 'Pause', 'Unmute', 'Speed' etc.
One of the shortcuts is 'Ton' (German for Audio), which leads to the right-click menu option for 'New Tab' and 'Ton (Audio)' being the same, both are selected using Strg + T. This means that now I cannot simply use Strg + T to open the video in a new tab, I have to tap an additional key to select which of the 'T'-options (New Tab or Ton) I want to choose, since simply using Strg + T will just keep switching between the options in the menu instead of selecting it. It's a small but at the same time incredibly annoying change.
Since this problem doesn't exist when using the English interface, I switched to that as a short term solution. But I would really like to know why this choice was made for the German interface, considering how often the New Tab shortcut will be used and that I don't need those video settings on the homepage at all.
Is there a way to change this or edit the right-click menu? Or could you consider this fact in your next update? Please make the shortcut for 'Ton' something other than Strg + T...
