Describe the bug

Every time I try to load any page, the errors: "Local API Error: TypeError: Failed to Fetch" and "Invidious API Error: TypeError: Failed to Fetch" continuously appear, with a new error message about every second. I thought it might have to do with the new player in the newest version, but it only started give-or-take 6-hours after I updated, and worked fine in between me downloading the update and then. I've also tried disconnecting from my VPN and re-installing the app, to no avail.

Expected Behavior

Pages load without issue.

Do you have Settings > Proxy Settings > Enable Tor / Proxy enabled? If yes, try disabling it.

Sorry for the very late reply, the last few days have been real busy lol, but it did work, thanks!

Similar problem for a while, although sometimes it worked fine. In my case it seems connected to NordVPN. I've now made FreeTube an exception, (so not protected) and the problem has gone - for now anyway
