Context: I use Chrome as my default browser, for reasons that aren't relevant for this discussion; I do plan on eventually migrating to Firefox, but for now it's not an option to simply drop Chrome and make the switch immediately.
Ever since YouTube's newest push to kill off adblockers, I noticed that whenever I click on a YouTube video to open it up, the area where the video thumbnail should go is completely black. If I refresh the page, the thumbnail is generated as it should; if I open any such video in a new tab, the problem never manifests.
After a bit of trial and error, I figured out that whatever YouTube is doing, it's in reaction to both the uBlock Origin and Enhancer for YouTube extensions that I'm using; once I turn them both off, the problem goes away (sort of; the video simply plays automatically). Is there a way that I can tweak them to get around this issue?
PS: Yes, this problem started a couple of months ago, but a nasty flu and later my sinusitus acting up something fierce several times prevented me from getting around to finding or asking for a solution for this until now.
