It is probably your security software - especially if it automatically goes into VPN mode (virtual private network). waterwatcher123 Nov 20 #4

My security software automatically turns on the VPN after restarting or a cold start. You-tube videos do exactly the same for me until it is turned off (then it loads automatically). The VPN is a good idea for any financial transactions or purchases, however (better protection for those situations).

But I switched to duck duck go and the pop ups get blocked seamlessly. It's a much better user experience.

It tells me to sign in when I’m already signed in. Once in YouTube, I now have to search out the video as it does not take me to the video that I wanted to view.
