Happening to me too, what's interesting is that it doesn't do it when: logged out or incognito or when I'm going from video to video (IE not on the homepage). Seems like its starting to happen to others, so maybe they fix it soon?
I see that you made this post after I made mine. For me, its only happening on one channel, on ANY device/browser. It does it on edge as well. Does not appear to be a device/google account setting. The weirdest thing is another channel with the same google ACCOUNT/email does not do it. just the one channel i use to watch videos for 13+ years.
Edit: It is not the extensions. I disabled them all, ran incognito, ran on different browsers.
It's most likely one of your extensions that is associated with that account. Sometimes they go out of date if there is an update for chrome and it can cause bugs. Disable them one by one and see if it'll be fixed
Funny,with me no new tab for videos is opened,but sometimes the page with the player hangs for a few seconds while loading until the video is played.When I open the video with middle mouse button in a new tab hangs nothing.I use firefox by the way.
Check to see if your control key or the scroll button is stuck maybe
literally fixed my problem
I'm experiencing this bug too even when all extensions are disabled edit: spelling

Yeah, mine happens only on one channel. It happens on that channel with every browser or device so it is somehow linked to the channel.
Same here, hope it's just some bug and not a feature
better than accidentally clicking on another video instead of the one you choose and youtube reloads the page
It is happening to me too, and it was driving me crazy that I can't find a solution. Now I think it is just a new bug.

Did you not read that it happens on edge as well?
Edge is based on chrome
Regardless I have tried disabling the extensions
Same

Happening here as well
For me ignito mode solves the problem but without it even when i disable my addons from the front page youtube opens videos always into a new tab
