YouTube is reportedly slowing down videos for Firefox users::Users are reporting that YouTube has begun adding a five second delay when loading a video on non-Chrome browsers like Firefox. Read on!
Time to spoof the user agent?
Nah, just be patient and wait the 5s. They are trying to create an artificial problem to try to make users switch to their garbage Chrome browser. When they see that Firefox users are smarter and don’t give a shit about their stupid tactics, or even better, use different apps like FreeTube to see the videos, they will stop. Either that or destroy the platform.
I wait the 5 secs, don’t bother me at all. It’s not like they are an ad… :D
Or you can add a uBlock script to bypass this:

Nah, wouldn’t want to contribute to Chrome market share.
No, that just sweeps the issue under the rug.
