@nixCraft I will abandon YouTube and Google before I abandon Firefox.

@nixCraft ive heard you can use a user-agent switcher extension to spoof being on chrome to bypass the delay, in case anyone hasnt heard

@nixCraft I stopped watching it, can't really say I miss it...

@nixCraft some people have checked the code responsible for delaying video playback, and it was delaying for users with ad blocking extensions, and not just firefox users (some users even reported that this happened to them on chrome). i don't know if it's still that way, but i still think it's an important thing to point out.

@nixCraft We suspected they are an arse. Then we knew it. And now they advertise it. :ablobcatwave: :ablobcateyesflip:

@nixCraft try impersonating Chrome or something with a user-agent spoofing plugin. Or, just walk away from GooTube, also a fine choice.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I haven't really noticed 😅

@nixCraft Install uBlock Origin, and click update in extension's window whenever you run into issues.

@nixCraft Is… Is this an ad baked into the og meta image?

@nixCraft I use FreeTube and Newpipe sooooo

Can't slow down or block ad blockers if I don't use the YouTube site directly

@nixCraft
I DO pay for premium and I still have issues with Firefox... 😠

@nixCraft Fake news doesn't get truer as it gets older. That was a bug that was quickly fixed...

@nixCraft yt-dlp still works, for now. I suggest downloading everything of value then figuring out where to post it later.

@nixCraft Damn, I just don’t want Internet sites know which internet browser I use.
