Edit: Issue located. Refer to post number 4:

TLDR: Fanboy's Annoyance list removes the youtube channel logo on videos + affects some sites captchas.

I noticed in latest version of chrome, aside from some CAPTCHA windows not loading which is one reason I moved to Firefox,
The other was videos do not display the logo.

Both Chrome and Firefox have same addons (well firefox has a different tab suspender).
Both UBlock Origin have the same filter lists - Incorrect info. For some reason UBlock Origin on Chrome had some older lists that i removed previously.

Yet, on Chrome, youtube video doesnt show the icon while on Firefox it does.

I even reinstalled chrome just to be on the safe side.

Anyone else having same issue?

@upnorth was it you who showed me a screenshot with the logo on the video not long ago?
Jupp. Not sure why you couldn't see the logo, but at that time the main topic was solved anyway by Jack.

Personal I mainly use Opera. I haven't checked on my other installed browsers, Firefox and the old Edge.

Found it. Mystery solved.

Fanboy annoyances filter. Just tested by adding it to FF and disable in chrome and scenario is as follow: chrome displays the logo, FF doesnt.

also noticed that for some weird reason Ublock Origin retained some older filters that i have previously removed. .
