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.
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.

So, the solution is to disable the adblocker? Not gonna happen
Yes, but I’ve had it across multiple sites that play video, so I don’t think it’s youtube.

Nope, it’s still just as terrible with premium.
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’ve heard this but it hasn’t happened to me.
