It also connects to discord, supposed to be blocked since more than a week. No other device or browser I have connects to YouTube, they all get ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED, and only a fresh Vivaldi profile on the same pc also connects to Discord, everything else get ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.
I’ve tried disabling all extensions, it still connects. Checked its IP address and DNS server and they’re the same as other devices/browsers. Any idea what could be going on?

24m edit: Discord just started working on some other chromium browsers including on another device.
80m edit: Another chromium browser just also connected. After deleting browser data it stopped
edit 3: found that if I add this to the servers section of a Network Persistent State file associated with a chromium browser profile (while the browser is closed), it can connect to youtube. Can’t explain why. (anonymization says https://www.youtube.com in base64):
{"alternative_service":[{"advertised_alpns":["h3"],"expiration":"13376788973168704","port":443,"protocol_str":"quic"}],"anonymization":["GAAAABMAAABodHRwczovL3lvdXR1YmUuY29tAA==",false],"server":"https://www.youtube.com","supports_spdy":true}
Edit 4: The block is over
All on dot/doh, all us cloudflare servers. Specific ips of the servers were different. I could reach Lemmy, google, ecosia just fine so I don’t think the servers were blocked.
I haven’t turned off fallback but judging by how I was getting a connection reset instead of the block notice when discord didn’t work I think fallback must be auto disbled with encrypted dns.
I do wonder if local cache had an effect, I didn’t know how to check that though. No proxy that I know of.
I did find the file and the part of the file that was different in Vivaldi and copying that to other browsers did make them work. I should’ve tried that with other social media sites too but I was too sleepy and now the temp blocks are gone. Can’t find information about network persistent state file on the internet, so I’m stumped for now
