YouTube: Touch controls issues

The YouTube touch zones for the timeline and controls don't line up in full screen landscape in Firefox for Android.

It's very hard to use the playback controls without hitting the timeline and skipping the video instead. The YouTube touch zones seem highly inaccurate in landscape. When tapping the full screen icon, bottom right below the timeline, I only hit the timeline and skip to the end of the video. When tapping play/pause I skip to the beginning of the video.

I don't have fat fingers or motor control issues. This phenomenon does not occur in fullscreen portrait, even though the controls are just as tightly orientated along the bottom edge of the screen. In portrait mode the touch zones line up perfectly. This is not a general display issue or a matter of calibration. Touch tracks well in paint applications.

Yes, the issue may be related though I'm running AdGuard AdBlocker not uBlock. Unfortunately the custom filter "m.youtube.com##.html5-video-player.ytp-large-width-mode video.video-stream.html5-main-video:style(height: 100vh !important)" is not accepted by AdBlocker. (Error)

Okay. You may wish to try uBlock or follow that GitHub issue for further solutions to this problem.

Switched to uBlock. Filter accepted, but no change. I have added the issue to the thread you linked to. Thank you.

If you spot a solution or would like further details, please let me know.
