Search giant says delays not specific to any browser – just those evading advert breaks. YMMV

    I got no issues whatsoever. Are you using any browser addons besides uBlock origin? I’ve been using ghostery for quite some time (which also has an ad-suppression engine) and that cocked up with youtube. Removed it and now I can use it as always. Firefox 120.0.1.

      Privacy Badger is better than Ghostery anyway.

      Instead of using a commercial server, it build its own anti-tracking list over time.

      Made by a non-profit digital rights group.

      And it works fine on Youtube.
