What happened?

When opening video, a massive amount of lag happened. Dislike bar flickers frequently. Really hard to scroll, click, or do anything. Only by disabling the extension the lag disappears.

How to reproduce/recreate?

1. Open the video.
2. Open console.
3. Wait until recursion errors (may take a minute).

Thanks for report, so far I can't reproduce it. Must be something specific about your configuration.

[Dheatly23]

Thanks for the response. Here are a few more notes:

1. I do have many extensions installed, i'll try to disable one by one.
2. When i launch in private window (which i disallow RYD) the lag disappears.
3. Same happens when i manually disable it.

Any suggestion on help debugging it?

EDIT: Here are a extension list:

• uBlock Origin
• Decentraleyes
• Dark Reader
• Breakthrough Twitter Login Wall
• Multithreaded Download Manager
• Youtube-shorts block

Found it! After quickly opening console i found this recursion error. It gets so laggy it crashed my browser. Will try to upload better quality later.

I can confirm this issue, I have the exact same problem, with the exact same error message, with the problem being gone when I disable this specific addon (and the issue has been going on for about the same timeframe, it is just that today I got around to trying to fix it). I have no visual feedback on the dislike bar though, but severe input lag on doing anything on the web page, the video runs too but is also affected by the input lag (trying to pause/unpause/skip though the video).

It happens exclusively with videos of very short length, about less than 2 minutes I would guess.

I have the following addons installed:

uBlock Origin Sponsorblock Youtube-shorts block Youtube Nonstop Bypass Paywalls enhanced-h264ify (I have a Thinkpad X220, a model too old to run modern codecs. However as I mentioned, the video itself does not lag and when sluggishly going into the provided statistics, it is still displayed as running as avc1. Also the issue still pertains when the video is paused)

As far as I can tell, disabling either individual ones of them does not work, only disabling Return Youtube Dislike stops the issue, so I am not sure there is any conflict.

I hope Anarios is able to fix this issue, because I'm also facing the same thing.

@TheGoldenSun What is your browser addon list and hardware?

[Dheatly23]

@hallo1126 @TheGoldenSun If i may ask, is it the same video i linked in the issue or are there any other example? Maybe there is some pattern here.
