A Weird and Probably Autistic Thing I Noticed on YouTube - ...probably nothing, but I'm bored...

This YouTube channel shows more videos when you look at it in Firefox or Brave than it does in Chrome. https://www.youtube.com/user/navin09/videos

Chrome: Channel only shows five videos.

Firefox: Shows ten or eleven

Brave: Same as Firefox

Not only that, the videos that Chrome doesn't show don't play in Chrome if you copy/paste the direct link into Chrome. But they do play in Firefox and Brave. Try:

The Toad Style of the Kwan Lun School! - https://youtu.be/1hRD4nIsIWQ

In Chrome you get the exclamation point inside a circle thingie. In Firefox and Brave, they play. 🤷‍♂️ Note that this video had been viewed over 8 million times, with comments left on it as recently as last month.

Just seemed a little weird. I get that YouTube removes videos, but making them unplayable on certain browsers only is something I'd never heard of before.
