Just what changes did you make?
How did you go about it?

^That. Inspector changes are always in the currently loaded page only. Refreshing the page (reload/F5) will always clear whatever you did.

I was confused too because it shouldn't save after I reloaded, restarted, deleted cache etc, but it still persisted. There is no visible change that I can see because of the css-edit I did with inspect element but there is a huge lag just when visiting any page on youtube, and on the inspector I think there were hundreds of message saying [error, css not injected] or something. Maybe the lag is because it is trying to inject these hundred changes, only resuming after the injection failed.

If you are browsing with the devtools open on a polymer site, then you can expect it to be slow. Just restart the browser (just in case to release any hooks devtools might have in the loading process) and keep devtools closed, then visit YouTube again.
