Firefox YouTube Live Streams Keep Freezing (lemmy.world)

Anyone else experience this? I haven't ever had this problem with Chrome. Live streams on YouTube seem to freeze once an hour or so. Actually YouTube just seems way slower and much more laggy on FireFox. I am using uBlock Origin so maybe that is throttling things, but I'm not sure.

Any advice?

I guess you missed all the news about this last monthish?

There's been something of an ongoing battle over showing commercials versus getting around showing them, with people reporting purposely(??) added slowdowns into the player, etc.

I tried disabling ublock and refreshing the streams. Still the same. Everything is very slow, and my computer is a beast, too.

I'd suggest you do some Internet searching on the subject, its been discussed allot in the recent past. Not worth rehasing it in this comment.
