 Hi,

   Since a few days that with some rule change i would think, youtube
 livestreams have stopped working in Google Chrome and firefox with the
 https everywhere extension installed, regardless of if the rule for
 youtube is active or not.

  Example: if i open a livestream( any really ) like this one randomly
 picked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_LFrMcoEm4 it will say "Please
 stand by" Forever, if i open the same link on Internet explorer (with
 https) it will work just fine, or in Chrome without the HTTPS everywhere
 extension installed.

   The first thing it does after i uninstall the HTTPS everywhere extension
 and reload it, is show an Ad, so i would assume the https everywhere is
 making ads not load correctly and the video doesn't take over correctly. (
 this used to happen with adblock plus before oddly enough)
