YouTube error with Tahoe 26.2

After Tahoe 26.2 when I start a YouTube video I get an error message that states try again later then it starts anyway. No issue with Firefox. Anyone else see this?

Mac mini, macOS 26.2

Issue resolved. I had a Youtube link on my home page and when using that link to go to YouTube it caused that error. If I go directly to Youtube by typing in the adrdess then no issue. Not sure what the difference was.

Youtube is tied to Google. If you have a Google account it might be better to log off your Google account on the same browser first and visit the video as guest. I've seen Google account get in the way on an older iPhone too.

Latest update: using the "Start.me" homepage format with Safari when using the YouTube bookmark the issue is present on YouTube. No issue with Firefox. If I use another homepage format like "besthomepageever" then no issue with the Youtube link. I cannot determine what it is with Safari and "Start.me" homepage that causes the issue. All other bookmark links to other sites work fine. I decided to no longer use the Start.me homepage format for now.
