It's a nasty bug coming from Chromium source and shall be fixed soon, But meanwhile, here is the workaround
Simply change your browser user-agent to Internet-explorer (confirmed to be working) or any other compatible ones that suits you
to do so, install an extension like this:

Thank you so much. No feedback forum responded to my feedback so I'm really happy that there is awareness of it and happy that this is already fixed in the new chromium builds. It is ironical that google bricks it's own website lol. adding the "--ie-mode-test" argument works as well without installing add-ons although, using the old youtube interface for this must work better.

You're welcome, Yeah there are a bunch of ways to do this, yesterday there was no canary update but I hope today we get one to fix this issue.

Actually, now the whole browser crashes every 10 seconds after I start the browser. Youtube worked in those 10 seconds though, but it also crashes without going to Youtube unfortunately. I feel sorry for the people who worked so hard on fixing it. I still love this browser over all other browsers.
