Zotero on Chrome messes with Youtube speed control?

Hello,

For a few weeks, I noticed that the speed control of Youtube didn't work anymore (Chrome, up to date). I realized today that the Zoter Connector (5.0.193) is responsible for that.
The problem goes away when I disable the extension, but I have to do it every time.

Does anyone knows about this issue ? Is there a quick workaround I didn't think about?
(I can't change the web browser and I need the connector)

Thanks!

Does this happen in a new Chrome profile? Could you create a screen recording of the issue?

My Chrome profile, with Zotero activated, no speed control on Youtube:

Incognito mode in Chrome (no Zotero), speed control is back:

Another Chrome profile (invited profile, no Zotero), speed control is back:

My Chrome profile, I disable Zotero in Chrome:

Then, the speed control is back:

After I do get back the speed control, re-activating Zotero does not take back the speed control. But closing and re-opening Chrome does it.

If you install Zotero Connector on a new Chrome profile do you see this issue too?
