       It appears that YouTube now loads videos slower on Firefox.https://www.androidauthority.com/youtube-reportedly-slowing-down-videos-firefox-3387206/Google has pretty much confirmed that this is intentional and says it is meant to deter users of adblockers.Here's another YouTube video that goes over the issue and examines a bit of the code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4gXhmzQztEIf you want to fix this, you can either spoof your user agent or add a custom rule to uBlock Origin.https://www.ghacks.net/2023/11/20/youtube-video-loading-delayed-fix-inside/#Firefox #Google #YouTube #Privacy #Adblock

       @ProfessorCode Brave browser blocks yt ads and its fast.  I like that my bookmarks and whatnot don't require me to give any personal info to save and sync.  Just a random word string, no account to register or log in with.  Their other products work well also.
