Problem Resolved: I run two extensions on my Chrome, AdGuard AdBlocker and Bitdefender Anti-Tracker. I had tried turning off Adblocker no help but turning off Anti-tracker resolved problem. I then manually added foxnews.com to exceptions in settings menu.
I too have set my anti-tracking to “strict” but rarely play their videos. I am a text kind of guy. I will keep this in mind and appreciate your ping.
