I've been embedding YouTube videos in my extension pages for a while, but my recent tests on Chrome Beta 141 are displaying an error in the YouTube video with error 153.

When I right click the video and "Copy debug info" I errorCode: embedder.identity.missing.referrer

Here is code
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pN9aec4QjRQ?si=PYcur0y1MzkfmqfM&enablejsapi=1&origin=chrome-extension://mdddabjhelpilpnpgondfmehhcplpiin" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

and just go to the extension Options > Contribute page and the video will show the error.

The video is shown in Chrome Canary for me, so maybe this bug is fixed in Canary but not in Beta...
