I'm getting an annoying issue on youtube. Sometimes, there's a blue line that appears in the youtube player, which prevents me from scrolling up and down, plus it causes some of the buttons to not work correctly, e.g if i click on the pause button, the video continues to play. I'm not sure if this is a browser problem, a youtube problem or something else, but how do i get rid of it?

They are shown when you start using the tab key. I just duplicated it on mine. I don't have autoplay enabled, so I have to click the play button. Then after that I pressed the tab button, and the blue outline showed like you have it. Keep pressing tab to go through all the buttons, and press enter to select.

It seems to appear sometimes, even if i don't click the tab button, that's what's weird. How do you disable this 'feature' completely?

It seems like youtube keeps getting worse. It now automatically enables subtitles, so i have to disable them again. I watch videos quite often, so i have to disable the subtitles about 10-20 times on a daily basis. How do i turn them off by default?

Can you somehow disable this new keep hovering to play feature? It's ridiciously annoying. I have to constantly pay attention to where my mouse cursor is to avoid this. It seems like you can only disable this if you have a youtube account, and i couldn't find any addons to disable it.

Actually, as it was only started in 2005 and Google bought it in 2006 I may never have actually seen it before google ownership.

2006=There were a lot of company-buyouts! That was when Seagate bought my favorite HDD company Maxtor!
A lot of other companies were sold that year.
