Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Opera GX with ImprovedTube 4.580 installed and ads set to "on". Compare behavior with the extension disabled or in another browser, then collect the missing settings, console errors, YouTube document, and experiment flags. Done means videos play normally while the extension remains installed and ads are enabled.
