>Google purposefully slows down YouTube on non-chromium browsers with adblock>Say that downloading Chrome is the solution>Slowdown is around 5 to 10 seconds>Ads are 30 seconds to 2 minutes longThe math isn't mathing
We as a people must do what we can to supplant YouTube's near monopoly.I don't think there is any other way.
>>108821186Everything works perfectly fine for me, zero buffer, zero loading, everything is instant on properly configured FF w/ uBO + Nuclear Filterlists.Havent seen a single pop-up, Advertisement, ID/Age verification or a "You're a Bot sign-in" blockage.I've yet to have a singular issue that people yap about and post on /g/ every week.
>>108821206Haven't used their actual site in ages, especially once they started the autotranslate bullshit.Depending on the OS I use newpipe (or any of the forks with sponsorblock), freetube or some invidious instance. Also keeps the algorithm at bay, I only see the things In my feet I subscribed to. Recommendations and trends turned off. Obviously you still get algorithm brained by proxy, since the content itself will be shaped by it, but the same applies to real life at this point.But if you insist on using a chrome based browser, something I discovered recently is that Brave has a bunch of custom filters to make shorts and bot translations disappear on YT itself.
>>108821233Then congratulations on that. But lots of people do have buffering when opening videos on Firefox with uBlock.
>>108821186Actually there is a solution.Stop using youtube you pussy. What do you even need it for? Some saar to explain to you how to install firefox?
>>108821262Buffering happens on Chromium browsers that use Ad-Blockers which aren't properly configured or lag behind with updates like uBO Lite or Brave.This has nothing to do with Gecko.
>>108821263>Stop using youtubeWhile it helps, the problem with this is that you are not in control of where other people post things.Chat platforms have the same issue. You can't control where your friends decide to post.So even if you switch you're still beholden to the platform other people decide to use.
>>108821186>>Ads are 30 seconds to 2 minutes longjust use brave or helium, thats it.
>>108821186Much buffer and slowdowns on my FF, very wow! Look at all these fricken hecken ads!!
>>108821186Oh noes, 5 seconds of black screen rather than 1.5 minutes of unskippable ads. Better give up my adblocker.
>>108821186firefox's old school high performance fork WHEN? just supersayan

>>108821263i need to watch ガッチマン play horror game kino. 友好的なアポクリトン doesn't upload anywhere other than YT. so i do what i must. >>108821186residential proxy + scrape aggressively to alleviate anger. always use yt-dlp and watch with mpv (fuck mpv).
>>108821186Works fine for me.
