Wait… so the red lines are added ON PURPOSE to deliberately degrade experience, and are not a side effect of having Canvas disabled?

You can keep canvas blocked on YouTube. To stop the red lines, do this:
Click uBlock Origin icon (top right of the browser, small red shield).
Click the gears icon (“Open the dashboard”).
Click “My filters” tab. Make sure “Enable my custom filters” is checked.
Add the following string to the list of filters:
www.youtube.com##.ytp-gradient-bottom
Click “Apply changes”.
Reload your youtube video page.

Maybe, I don’t know if it was on purpose. But the red lines are the red-fade-to-pink effect of the progress bar I believe, and I have not found a need for such a feature, so they might be using this feature as an excuse to claim the need of canvas.

Sure sounds like it’s just an excuse, since it worked swimmingly before the canvas claim.

You aren’t supposed to find the element. Just copy the command into your filters and hit apply.

No I tried to find the element before he shared this.

Ah I misunderstood.
