YouTube has a "disable DVR" toggle that disables the seek bar. There is a workaround, but I'm not sure if there's one that work in-browser.

What is the non-browser workaround? E.g., can streamlink do it?

Does it ? I can pause but I can't seem to go back. Clicking on the timeline does nothing. Clicking on the "live" indicator does nothing.

This isn't letting me drag back either.

Yeah, explicitly disabled. Corporate control freak behavior - that tracks.
