YouTube tab crashes consistently in version 100.0.1-1

See original GitHub issue

Found a bug that’s making YouTube unusable in version 100.0.1-1. Downgrading to 100.0-2 solved the issue entirely.

Youtube tabs keep crashing when performing the following actions:

  • Hovering a video’s title or thumbnail. Doesn’t happen with some videos, for some reason, but happens with the vast majority
  • Clicking a video’s title or thumbnail
  • Clicking the notifications icon (the bell besides your user photo in the top right corner)

At first I thought it was some extension I use, like CanvasBlocker or Enhancer for Youtube. But even after disabling all my extensions, this still happens consistently.

Here is the console output when the crash happens:

Gtk-Message: 12:58:18.418: Failed to load module ""canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 12:58:18.418: Failed to load module "atk-bridge""
console.error: BroadcastService:

###!!! [Parent][PImageBridgeParent] Error: RunMessage(msgname=PImageBridge::Msg_WillClose) Channel closing: too late to send/recv, messages will be lost

All I did here was open Firedragon, let a YT video page load, select some comments’ text, like some comments, then hover some videos in the recommendations section. Only when I hovered the third video the crash happened. Then I restored the tab and repeated the same steps, and it crashed again. I was logged in, too.

Hey! There has been an update to 100.0.2, please let me know if the improves things 😃

Wow, the update seems to have fixed it perfectly! I’ll test it on some more videos and close the issue tomorrow if I don’t find anything else. Thanks!
