Youtube video "element" crashes when trying to watch ANY video
Started a couple days ago
Youtube works fine for everything, except when i try to watch a video, the rectangle where the video is supposed to be appears black during loading (normal) but then vanish.
checking the console i get a huge error that's just unreadable for me
it doesn't happen on edge, or in private navigation
turning every addon off doesn't fix the issue, and it does it even in "troubleshoot mode"
i haven't "refreshed" because i don't know what kind of data will be lost when i do that

messaging google and asking on possible youtube "forum" landed 0 replies so i'm asking here since it doesn't do it in private mode
