Ask HN: Has anyone noticed how broken YouTube is these days?

I use my arrow keys to navigate up or down and I have my mouse over the empty area of menu bar (Firefox) to avoid intervening with my navigation.

Videos start playing as if I have hovered onto them...

Is anyone else having the same issue?

IIRC YouTube actually has a dedicated option in video playback settings to disable "video previews" when hovering over the thumbnail

j / k navigate · click thread line to collapse
