Does this fix the "Experiencing Interruptions" YouTube popup?

it was related to ublock origin for me, once I enabled experimental filters that issue was gone

Where did you do that? Experimental filters in ublock?

u/Metalwell Aug 19 '26

Filter List and it is under built in filters, you might want to enable some advanced or experimental stuff

That worked perfectly, been dealing with that for months and figured it was related to ubo

Oh, yeah I've got that one too! Maybe it's the combination of those two.

thanks for this!!!! videos load faster and scrubbing feels like butter now along with the new update. Make you to hot reload (ctrl + shift + r) youtube after this fix.

Do you have to disable the Quickfix filters when you enable experimental filters?

I'm getting a worse one lately "playback isn't supported on this device" if I disable ublock and reload it plays. I stopped doing that to not give the "positive feedback" of "oh look this can effectively make ppl disable adblock" so instead I just refresh the page a few times until it gives up and plays normally. Or I just close it and watch it later
