I'm getting such a pause also in Chrome since a few days, I was assuming that it's fallout from the adblocking wars though (I use uBlock Origin and don't get the nag screen anymore since around the time that pause appeared)
Yup, same here — I see the same delay in Chrome now and then.
I guessed it was due to the cat-and-mouse adblocking prevention between YouTube and adblockers (I'm also using uBlock Origin).
