Have you read a contributing guide?

• I have read CONTRIBUTING.md

Hello, this is already fixed by the community contribution, you have 2 options:

• remove cookies for youtube in devtools: Debug -> Devtools ->

• or download latest alpha version and use it until we made next public release.

No cookies or better I hit clear but youtube is still showing 153 error.

you should clear youtube cookies, not file://, check next folder

I did of course. Still no effect.

Download latest alpha then, users with this problem cleared Youtube cookies and it helped, its some Youtube embed protection logic.

I've double checked and the problem actually persists.
