I have the same issue on Windows too, with the two errors, but reopening it seems to fix the "Error: This helps protect our community. Learn more" issue for me

I have the same "n-token decipher algorithm" with local API, but found an invidious instance that works for now.

so its an error with invidious instances? are all all of the instances affected? i get this error and the video still plays btw

There is already an issue for Failed to extract n-token decipher algorithm. Close this issue because it is a duplicate. The Invidious error is also a duplicate of invidious #4734.

The Invidious team is aware of this issue. It appears that it affects all the software using YouTube.
Please refrain from commenting if you have nothing new to bring up. Thank you.
