Chrome might use quic as application.

Try what happens if you block that in your sec policy.

besides blocking Quic, you will also need to make sure SSL decryption is enabled

 

youtube uses SSL by default on a certificate from it's parent company google, so without SSL decryption, the only information available is the common name in the certificate, which is *.google.com

Actually it should be possible for the firewall (depending on the PAN-OS Version) to see www.youtube.com (even without decrypting the connection) in the SNI extension of the ssl-handshake

Apply the protocol blocking google youtube quic and everything was blocked.
I also discovered that you can disable the protocol from chrome.
