Hello,
I never had this issue in March. It only started happening in April.

Try turning off hardware acceleration for now, I had the same exact issue and that fixed it for me.

In my case, codec "av01"(AV1) seems to cause the trouble. I'm not sure but "vp09"(VP9) nor "avc1"(h264) doesn't have this issue.
Uninstalling "AV1 Video Extension" app seems to solve it, however, I couldn't really uninstall this app since it will be re-installed automatically several hours later. :(
I'm using enhanced-h264ify extension to block AV1 for now.
P.S.
I cannot see "av01" on YouTube today. If I block VP8/VP9/h264, "Your browser can't play this video" appears. Hmm...
