I have the link of video caused this issue, but I can’t reproduce it in my machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dChN0N0U7G4 And here is the JS url: https://www.youtube.com/yts/jsbin/player_ias-vfl3bQWS-/en_US/base.js

Seem like it not happen all time, but this issue becomes trending as I can see in crash report.
