When you click on the player in YouTube, it lights up, how to turn off the backlight. If I click on the play button, the button is highlighted and I can’t press the spacebar to press stop or play

I see the same behavior on Chrome, if I click the Play button and then press spacebar, the blue outline appears but it doesn't toggle the button. Pressing Tab to move to the next control and then Shift+Tab to move back again, the Play button now responds to the spacebar.

The easiest way to get spacebar to toggle playback is by clicking on the video or an empty part of the page to give it keyboard focus.
