On YouTube you'll get this in the developer console every time you click the fullscreen button.

Failed to execute 'requestFullscreen' on 'Element': API can only be initiated by a user gesture.

I can reproduce as well. Looks like one of our content scripts is interfering with the click event. We're currently looking into it.

Can confirm this on Win 7 Chrome 71, it's quite annoying.
Pressing F to go fullscreen does seem to work.
Whitelisting the site does not work, only disabling the extension.

@christophertino Can you please mark it as a duplicate of #314

Chrome is rolling back their experiment, which should fix it.
