[HTTPS-Everywhere] HTTPS-Everywhere breaks YouTube even when disabled

[Erik Harris]

For the last few months, I've noticed that the "Expand" button on 
YouTube videos hasn't worked. I finally decided to sit down and 
troubleshoot it by disabling all of my extensions and re-enabling them 
systematically to determine which one breaks the function. With all 
extensions enabled except HTTPS-Everywhere, the button worked.

Even though the YouTube HTTPS rule is disabled, the culprit is one of 
HTTPS-Everywhere's rules. (I'm using 0.9.9.dev.6, though the problem 
predates this version).  If I "Restore to defaults," the problem still 
exists. If I disable ALL HTTPS-Everywhere rules (but keep the extension 
enabled), the problem goes away. And of course, if I "Restore to 
defaults" again, the problem comes back.

Does anyone know which rule is breaking this YouTube function?  With 
hundreds of rules in the list, I'm not willing to go through the list 
and narrow it down to the problematic rule. :) I did test the obvious 
possibilities (Google APIs, Google Services), and they don't fix it.

To be clear, I'm on http://www.youtube.com/etc, and NOT 
https://www.youtube.com/etc.
