Individuo1 Posted February 19 ID:1618502 Share Posted February 19 Hi, I had a problem with the browser guard. When I hover over the video preview (on YouTube), it opens automatically (as if I had clicked on it). After opening the video, it pauses by itself. Also, the audio of the video continued playing after I returned to the home page. I thought that It could happen because of a virus, but my pc is clean (I used the Malwarebytes antivirus to analyse my pc lol). After confirm that the issue was not my PC, I tested all my extensions one by one and that issue only happened when the Browser Guard were active. Link to post
Porthos Posted February 19 ID:1618510 Share Posted February 19 @Individuo1 Does it happen in other browsers other than Edge? Link to post
Individuo1 Posted February 19 Author ID:1618512 Share Posted February 19 I tested in Chrome and Edge, and only happens in Edge Link to post

Individuo1 Posted February 19 Author ID:1618536 Share Posted February 19 I already tried uninstalling it and downloading again but is the same. I downloaded it from the edge app store. Link to post
Individuo1 Posted February 19 Author ID:1618542 Share Posted February 19 I already tried uninstalling it and downloading again, but is the same. I downloaded it from the edge app store. Here is a clip about the bug, the first try is with the browser guard and the video starts automatically without any click, pauses itself and it also reproduced audio when I returned to the main page. The second try is without the browser guard and the video only starts when I press left click. Also, the audio bug doesn't occur when I disabled the extension. 1.mp4 Link to post
BADPLAY Posted February 20 ID:1618568 Share Posted February 20 I'm facing the same issue as Individuo1, Soon as i disable the extension the issue goes away. Happened in both of my laptops while using Chrome as the browser. Link to post

Personally for me the issue presists eventhough i download the extension using the Google addon page. Link to post
suicidalducky Posted February 20 ID:1618583 Share Posted February 20 I'm having this issue in Google Chrome. I think the issue is with the February 19, 2024 update, since it just started happnening today for me. I have both ublock origin and browserguard installed. I was able to replicate the issue by scrolling repeatly through youtube--scrolling pages and pages of videos..and it would load a video. It was making me paranoid, but it went away after disabling/removing malwarebytes browserguard. Also had issues with the audio too..but i had to click through multiple videos to trigger it. All the issues are gone after removing the extension (browserguard). I only have 2 extension installed MB and Ublock Origin. Link to post
suicidalducky Posted February 20 ID:1618584 Share Posted February 20 Also forgot to add...the audio issue will go away if I close the tab or go to another website. Link to post
Individuo1 Posted February 20 Author ID:1618663 Share Posted February 20 Hi, the issue persists after I downloaded it again. I tested the extension in Chrome again in other pc and I had the same problem. Link to post
Porthos Posted February 20 ID:1618678 Share Posted February 20 I watch YouTube most of my waking hours but I use Firefox. Keep in mind, they do not want users to use ad blockers of any kind so this could be a side effect. Link to post

BFeely Posted February 25 ID:1619721 Share Posted February 25 Thanks for the fix; I at first had attributed the glitches to uBlock Origin Lite and YouTube's aggressive anti-adblock campaigh. Link to post

DoogZ Posted March 1 ID:1620554 Share Posted March 1 Hi @gatortail. The big with videos starting from the Home Feed seems to persist despite the v2.6.23 update to Browser Guard. Can I ask if this is known and further bug fixes in process? Currently my only option to avoid this problem is to disable Browser Guard. Regards, Andrew Link to post
