@ben videos seem to start without delay, using Firefox on Ubuntu 22.04, mullvad VPN and not signed in youtube
@ben@mastodon.bentasker.co.uk oh it did? I'm using Firefox with ublock but that does not happen to me
@ben they also set default quality to 360p even if you can stream 4K... but then I don't have Chrome to verify if that's an anti-ad-blocker trend!
