Addon Incompatibility: firefox addon "Unhook" for youtube: direct/fresh navigation to a watch page breaks #573

Description

After a lot of testing why recently my youtube has broken when opening videos direct/fresh (works fine when opening from a page such as subscriptions); I figured out noscript and unhook have some sort of incompatibility issue.

Tested with noscript version 13.6.26/13.6.27. Not exactly sure when it started but it has been ~ roughly a week at most...

Full incompatible addon name "Unhook - Remove YouTube Recommended & Shorts"

Had them both running for a long time without any issue before ~last week, noscript update introduced incompatibility.

You can reproduce in fresh firefox with only noscript & unhook. Even if noscript has all scripts enabled on that tab, you'll still get the effect.

The console error: "patchWorkers.js:126:23, Invalid assignment to const 'documentUrl'"

If the video plays at all; the time doesn't move, then the whole page lags to an extreme degree and firefox flags it as slowing the whole browser down.

Not a major issue as I can just disable unhook but, thought I'd bring it to your attention anyways after all this troubleshooting, maybe it could help somebody.

Thanks for the fantastic addon and your great work.
