When entering a youtube's page, the video starts playing normally, but soon the system shows a lot of unresponsiveness and the playback usually is interrupted with the error message: "Something went wrong. Refresh or try again latter". during this stage.
The error console shows this error message countless times:
CODE:

And warning messages such as this

also multiple times.
Note that the video playback interruptions does not always happen. Sometimes it continues to play, and after some time, the unresponsiveness goes away, if a switch away from youtube to another tab
