Describe the issue

The above address is just one example, but the problem happens on any youtube video I watch. I can eliminate the problem for 1 shot, but I do not know how to correctly format a filter to account for changing data in the offending line. If I use the element picker and accept the line, it adds this to the filter list:

! 2022-11-22 https://www.youtube.com
www.youtube.com##.ls10ef838c2ffr.ls10ef838c2f-block.hidden.ls10ef838c2f-first-block

This will work until a refresh or new video starts.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Start video: black (or white, depending on if dark mode or not) box across the bottom of video: If I use uBO Element picker it pulls this: ##.lsedf9daa1b0fr.lsedf9daa1b0-block.hidden.lsedf9daa1b0-first-block

2. Refresh same video, new line becomes this: ##.ls10ef838c2ffr.ls10ef838c2f-block.hidden.ls10ef838c2f-first-block

3. Filter just needs to wildcard like so to work: ##.<insert wildcard here>-block.hidden.<insert wildcard here>-first-block

As a note, I've done my best to search for similar issues, but wasn't able to find one, I even manually skimmed the first 5 pages to see if something matched.

Not recommended is opening sites directly from diffrent apps (e.g. discord) [mostly if browser was closed] and recover session (open last vivewed pages 5-10 minutes after started Chromium).

Filter just needs to wildcard like so to work: ##.<insert wildcard here>-block.hidden.<insert wildcard here>-first-block

if problem don't gone after clear all youtube+google data (and change routine with opening too early youtube) try test:

www.youtube.com###movie_player .hidden[class*="-first-block"]

https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_attribute_selectors.asp, but this is not strict wildcard (match "-first-block" anywhere into attribute, maybe xpath can read order).
