A weird bug is affecting selected Pixel devices including the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro that sees some devices crash and soft reboot when a specific YouTube video is opened.

[Update 02/28]: Google has confirmed that this issue will be addressed in the upcoming March update but did not share details on what is causing the problems with this specific video.

However, it does appear that this problem is less prominent on devices running the recent Android QPR Beta and Android 14 Developer Preview 1. Until this fix rolls out, it might be worthwhile avoiding catching up on Alien movie clips.
