   Google is doing everything to drive Firefox users with adblock extensions crazy. Some Firefox users are still experiencing a 5 second delay when trying to view YouTube content.

   YouTube's response: Pay for premium, switch to Chrome or disable your ad blocker.

     @nixCraft This move doesn't make complete sense. I like Firefox but it doesn't even block ads out of the box unlike Librewolf and @brave and I'm not seeing any noticeable slowdown or delay on @brave... Is it because I'm logged in?

     @nixCraft I've been drastically cutting back my YouTube usage for the following reasons

     1. Ad Experience.
     2. YouTuber Sponsorship ads.
     3. YouTuber begs for likes.

     What was once a resource is now a wasteland.
