Why isn't YouTube on Chrome showing buttons or a progress bar?

YouTube on Chrome not showing buttons or progress bar

Hi there, I'm having issues with the mobile YouTube site, which I use in preference to the app because I don't see overplayed in channel branding at the top right. But now I'm having issues - none of the video controls will load. I can't pause or view it in full screen. So I've reset Chrome. That didn't help, nor did restoring to an older version, so is this a problem with Moto G, or is it a YouTube issue? Facebook videos which use the same HTML5 player will load.

re:

What do you mean that you reset Chrome? Do you mean you cleared the cache and data in the Settings>Apps>All​ menu?

I just tried it out. You're right, the buttons or progress bar aren't showing on the mobile site. But if you request the desktop site (tap the Chrome menu, then check the Request Desktop Site box), it'll work normally.
