YouTube infinite scrolling gets stuck after 20 videos on iOS

Dima_0098

Hello Orion Team,

There is a major bug with the infinite scrolling on YouTube (Desktop and Mobile versions) in Orion for iOS.

The home page recommendations feed gets completely stuck after loading exactly 20 videos. The browser stops sending network requests (XHR/Fetch) to load the next portion of videos when scrolling down. Clearing the cache, changing the User Agent, and using Override Viewport Width does not fix the issue.

Please fix the network/script compatibility with the updated YouTube feed API on iOS. Thank you!

I expect the YouTube feed to scroll infinitely and load more videos when I scroll down, just like it does on a regular desktop PC.

iOS 18.7.8

Hi Dima_0098 thank you for taking the time to report this bug!

Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce this issue so far. Could you give me a bit more information?

Which version of Orion are you on?
Could you try turning off content blockers for YouTube, then reload and scroll again? (Tap the site icon in the address bar → Turn Off Content Blockers)
Do you have any extensions installed? If so, which ones, and does the issue persist with them disabled?
Are you signed in to YouTube, and is your watch history turned on? YouTube limits the home feed when you are signed out or history is paused.

Thank you for your help in making Orion a better browser!

Hi jeanetienne,

Thank you for your response! Here is the additional information regarding your questions:

My Orion version is 1.5.4 (1)
Yes, I have already tried turning off Content Blockers for YouTube completely, but the issue still persists (stuck at exactly 20 videos).
I do have the "Unhook" extension installed to block Shorts. However, I have tested this thoroughly by completely disabling the extension and clearing the browser cache/cookies. Even with all extensions turned off, the infinite scroll does not work.
Yes, I am signed in to my YouTube account, and my YouTube watch history is turned on and active.

Since all of these steps have been verified and the feed still fails to load past the first 20 videos, this seems to be a deeper script or network compatibility issue with the YouTube feed API in Orion on iOS 18.

Please let me know if you need any logs or further details to help reproduce this. Thank you!
