This issue is not fully fixed and is still reproducible on my end even after the update with the following config.
Still, setting adblocker mode to "in player" solves this issue.

I had the same problem with 3.3.9, how do I reset my settings or put my adblocker to "in-player" only?

%appdata%\YouTube Music and edit your config.json.

@soarpasser @SleepDaemon @DankestFke Are you experiencing the same issue after deleting %appdata%\YouTube Music\adblock_cache?

[soarpasser]

How can I get devtools console to open again? What was the shortcut? Since entire screen is black and non-responsive, I'll have to open dev console via keyboard shortcut
Nevermind, got it

[JellyBrick]

@Rairof Thanks!
