Bug Report:

BUG: The link to the channel of the current video owner is NOT updated without a webpage refresh when watching several videos in a row. (This may not be the exact reason why it's not working, I am not a programmer)

HOW: Occurs whenever I have ImprovedTube enabled. Disallowing ImprovedTube from reading and changing site data for YouTube fixes the problem suggesting the problem is with ImprovedTube.

EXPECTED (/preferred) behavior: The link to channel when clicking on the channel name while watching a video should take me to the channel page of the owner of the current channel.

Screenshots:
example

/ ⚬ Context: This also causes issues with the ads on subscribe channels feature built-in to ImprovedTube.

Setup:

⚬ ImprovedTube Version:
⚬ Browser: Chrome 107.0.0.0
⚬ Settings: improvedtube.txt (json files aren't supported for upload on github issues)
⚬ OS: Windows 10
⚬ Device: Desktop PC

Hey @Avaritia487, can I know the ImprovedTube version you are using?

Is this just happening for you? I've been having the same issue for many months already. Sometimes it opens the correct channel, other times it opens the channel of the previous video watched.

Also this #1226

Hi, thanks for caring! @RocknRoIla @Avaritia487
gone in v4.0.1? - our maintainer had to leave this year so we still got some puzzling to do.
If you can add anything to this table, this might accelerate/clear some things:
