If you want to manipulate nodes like getting value of nodes or changing style, you can wait for these nodes using this function

const waitFor = (...selectors) => new Promise(resolve => {
    const delay = 500
    const f = () => {
        const elements = selectors.map(selector => document.querySelector(selector))
        if (elements.every(element => element != null)) {
            resolve(elements)
        } else {
            setTimeout(f, delay)
        }
    }
    f()
})

then use promise.then

// scripts don't manipulate nodes
waitFor('video', 'div.sbg', 'div.bbg').then(([video, loading, videoPanel])=>{
    console.log(video, loading, videoPanel)
    // scripts may manipulate these nodes
})

or use async&await

//this semicolon is needed if none at end of previous line
;(async () => {
    // scripts don't manipulate nodes
    const [video, loading, videoPanel] = await waitFor('video','div.sbg','div.bbg')
    console.log(video, loading, video)
    // scripts may manipulate these nodes
})()
