YouTube has worked fine for me using Firefox with Ublock Origin, with no lag, notifications telling me to turn off ad blocking, or any of the other issues users have reported here.

Great timing, I was literally just dealing with YouTube problems. I have YouTube Premium and uBlock off for YouTube, it’s still oddly slow. I just cleared all my browser data and it seems to have helped a bit, but earlier the YouTube tab literally took 3 minutes to even begin to load with the CPU pegged at 100% the whole time. I have gigabit fiber, it should be pretty fast.
Weird. I have youtube premium but never turn ublock off and I’ve almost never had any issues. I mostly watch youtube on MacOS, but Windows or Linux (not signed in) I’ve almost never had issues with it. Maybe try turning it on?
Doesn’t make a difference, it was hanging before the point where it would even try to load ad domains. It was kind of weird.
Like, you’d click YouTube from bookmark and it would peg the CPU for seconds and sometimes minutes while still displaying the new tab page. Once the white background of YouTube would pop finally it took about 10-15 seconds to load.
I think the cache might have been utterly borked.
