“In this video I discuss how YouTube is artificially slowing down videos in the Firefox browser artificially to probably get people to use Chromium browsers that Google has more control over.”

I honestly thought I was just having bad luck with Firefox. Whenever it occurs, I take the link and throw it into freetube.
Here’s the article. He showed in the video, https://www.ghacks.net/2023/11/20/youtube-video-loading-delayed-fix-inside/. I used the uBlock Origin Filter and it works.
The video is bunk, the original “analysis” was wrong, they didn’t look up what the function actually does, the function is showing up in other browsers. It’s pretty clear this is an A/B test rolling out that’s fetching something behind the scenes that’s broken for a bunch of people.
Jumped to a conclusion without even understanding the subject at hand.
Reddit is also slowing down Firefox. This shit needs to stop.
Youtube makes the video stutery too sometimes on my firefox
I think they are trying another random testing because this happens to me from time to time on brave browser too.
Advertising your youtube channel should be a bannable offense
I don’t think it’s op’s vid. That’s the videos caption.
Plus when the video is this closely related to the topic of the community, I feel like even advertising your own video is okay.
Not if you have no idea what you are talking about and are blatantly lying for clicks.
This generic 5s timeout function shows up in other browsers too, not just FF.
