Comment (by Thorin):
The white element is YT using a canvas element, which RFP renders white

Obviously one solution, is to allow canvas on YT: but that defeats the
purpose - and it wouldn't surprise me that the reason for doing this is to
force users to remove privacy protections. The fact that canvas RFP
protection is easily detectable can be used against users
Another solution is to play whack-a-mole with JS/elements: and that's not
a long term solution either
Tom's ticket on poisoning canvas is probably the ultimate answer
