User Drago helpfully left some feedback:

"Video blocking" is a great feature but with two critical problems: When enabled preloading get permanent stuck at high quality at a certain point (e.g. on YouTube with 1080p - usually videos that are half-an-hour or longer). And the seccond issue is, content blocking in the middle of a video (even of only for one second) leads to frozen video in all of a sudden without displaying an info... Could it even be that these two problems are related or even have the same origin? Unfortunately I had to set whole video blocking feature disabled for watching YT without freezes.
