I have 2ms ping to YouTube and my network is wired 1gbit so it was odd to get so many buffering issues. So i did a search and this solution immediately solved the buffering issue! Prefer IPv4 or disable IPv6 and it’s buttery smooth

    If you are using Firefox or any of the forks or an adblocker; that’s probably why it’s buffering. Freetube or NewPipe is the way to go.

      I’m still main on chrome atm. I use firefox as well but there are some features on Chrome that’s not on firefox. Nvidia RTX video enhancement super resolution works on chrome but not firefox. Also HDR doesn’t work on firefox =/ Oh just did a side by side test on the same video, YouTube does not give firefox the option for 8k or HDR, max is 4k 60fps on firefox.
