Description

macOS 10.12.2
chrome 55.0.2883.95
vimium 1.57

Today all commands stopped working on youtube. If I switch with a mouse to another tab, vimium works as supposed, but on the youtube page it doesn't. The browser was relaunched and the OS was restarted.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure on YouTube using macOS 10.12.2, Chrome 55.0.2883.95, and Vimium 1.57, then compare command handling on YouTube with another tab. Done means Vimium commands work on YouTube after the browser and OS restart conditions described in the issue are addressed.
