The video link in the article works in Chrome but not Firefox mobile (for some reason I can't comprehend).

Working link in case you are interested:

I ran into the same issue. Opening the video link in Chrome incognito works. Going directly to the video link after visiting the article (with blocked embedded video) causes a connection refused error to YouTube.

I haven't seen this with YouTube before. It must have to do with the embed settings being disabled for the video and a cookie getting set. If the cookie is present, the connection to the server is refused.

Also doesn't work in (Chromium-based) Brave. Might be Google product-tying its YouTube dominance to Chrome dominance.
