I've been seeing this for a couple weeks now along with a popup telling me "ad blockers aren't allowed" at work where I'm forced to use Chrome. I have UBlock Lite installed. Typically a refresh takes care of the popup and a 10 second delay later, the video loads.
I run portable Firefox on my work PC. I refuse to use chrome. some of our apps require Edge, but outside of that, I don't touch chrome.
I switched to Firefox basically as soon as ublock origin didn't work on chrome. It was easier than I thought it would be.
