I haven't experienced this because I don't log in, and haven't since all this fuckery started a couple months ago. I have to double-click play, but that's it. Fully loaded uBlock Origin and AdBlockPlus, no problems in browser at all.

I keep FreeTube loaded with my subscriptions, so if I want to see what's new I can open FreeTube and either watch there or copy the YouTube link and watch on YouTube.
