After yet another crackdown on ad-blockers, YouTube users are noticing videos that load slowly and direct them to a support page about turning off ad-blocking extensions.

      Youtube works a lot better for me after switching from Firefox to Librewolf.

      Really? Guess it hasn’t hit me yet. I use Firefox and haven’t noticed any slowdowns.

        I use an old outdated version of FF because the new v3 google bullshit isn’t supported for my os version.

        it was working fine one day and then a week after the official “cut off” it just slowed down and dropped quality.

        it’s ok though. I don’t mind switching the quality and waiting for videos to buffer.

          ??? You realise that the manifest v3 in ff isn’t the same as that in chrome? Ublock works on latest firefox. And unless you’re using esr. Congrats on the vulns you’ve cultivated.

              It’s bad enough that I can’t tell if you’re trolling me or not.
