Anybody else having flaky behavior with youtube videos in Firefox lately? Like, only audio resuming but video freezing after rewinding? I'm wondering if this is intentional on the part of Google.

Given Google and YouTube's history of intentionally and maliciously disrupting other browsers that aren't chrome, it'll be a safe bet that it's intentional.

So, the solution is to disable the adblocker? Not gonna happen

[–] Saprophyte@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I use pihole. It's external to a browser extension and performs the same without the in browser complaints about using an ad blocker.

On my pc with a couple ad blockers youtube is SLOW.

If i turn them off it runs fine.

On my android using adaway I have zero youtube lag.

So yeah. Seems pretty intentional

I think youtube makes itself terrible if you don't have premium. I have the problems you describe and others on both my desktop with FF or my chromebook with chrome.

[–] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 3 points 2 years ago

Nope, it's still just as terrible with premium.

[–] wurosh@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, but I've had it across multiple sites that play video, so I don't think it's youtube.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I’ve heard this but it hasn’t happened to me.

On mobile I only use New Pipe for videos. Admittedly, I don't do much YouTube but I haven't noticed any problems on my laptop.
