Update Firefox. They just had an update which fixes the plethora of problems with slow performing YouTube. Specifically 134.0.1
I have no clue how this could be the case, but the issue really is gone in 134.0.2.
Why does a browser need an update to fix YouTube? Shouldn’t that be the other way around?
Because Google intentionally breaks their sites when loaded on Firefox, so Mozilla have to keep reverse engineering their bullshit and implementing countermeasures, in an arms race somewhat reminiscent of duck genitals.
Does it also happen when you disable all plugins? Happened for me when I had a plugin running to bring back downvotes.
I’m 95% sure it’s a combination of Linux + Firefox + uBlock Origin and YouTube is trying to make me get rid of all three of those. Not gonna happen.
I mean, I could try disabling uBlock Origin, but either way I don’t get to see content, so what’s the point? 🥲
I have ff and ublock on windows and every now and then YouTube videos have issues like stopping playing and not recovering (where an ad would play).
Only fix is to hard refresh the page.
Sometimes hard refresh wasn’t enough and I had to actually quit firefox (which also cleared cookies) and try again. Doesn’t happen too often tho.
