I use ublock origin on Firefox along with a few other privacy extensions. I do not use Adblock. YouTube doesn’t even finish loading the page for me but videos do start playing after 10 seconds or so. I tried without blocking ads but I gave up because the experience was even worse with how many ads there are now.
- ta1243 3y agoI use ubo, firefox, ddg and a pi-hole, and haven't noticed any issues with youtube. However I tend to do youtube while signed in, and I also consume youtube on my phone, perhaps they are happy they push enough adverts to my when I use a phone that they ignore the browser use.

- ivanmontillam 3y agoExactly my scenario. Firefox and uBlock Origin (with YouTube Premium). One must be careful with these kinds of posts that imply YouTube is exerting network effect forces on its users as a way to squeeze revenue. I mean, yeah that scenario is plausible, and the slow performance observation can be construed of such an action; however, one must also be careful and play devil's advocate in these ones, for a balanced debate to happen.
