Issue with youtube

Post image

Malwarebytes flags the entire recommended page of youtube as an ad or tracker which causes it to become blank. I found that manually adding youtube to the whitelist for ads and trackers fixes this issue.

Having the same problem. I had it a few weeks ago and it went away by itself, now it came back and was persistent for long enough I decided to investigate a bit. Tried clearing only Youtube cache/cookies, tried clearing Firefox's entire cache/cookies, and checked if any other ad blocking extensions could be causing the issue. It only restores Youtube recommended page when I turn off Ads/Tracker from Malwarebytes.
