YouTube just broke for me in such a way that:

• reloading the page didn’t work
• force-reloading the page didn’t work
• highlighting the address bar and pressing enter didn’t work
• the only way to fix it was to copy the URL, close the tab, and paste the URL in a new tab

how does that even happen? this isn’t the first time either

I miss the 2006 era internet. when userscripts worked, user-styles were easy to make, and there were only like 3 troubleshooting steps if a page broke

@kasdeya this sounds like a browser bug; tab process bugged out and didn't quite crash but was still very broken. it's happened to me occasionally on various sites

@erin woah huh! it being a browser bug never even occurred to me as an option. that’s good to know though
