Firefox users are reporting an 'artificial' load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it's part of a plan to make people who use adblockers "experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using."

Nope, still too easy to get around.

It was happening for several days with me but it seems to be fixed now

I'm using Firefox but is it not possible to block ads in chrome too?

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

It won't be possible in the future. It should be happening soonish if I'm remembering correctly. There's a change to how add-ons will be allowed to work in chrome.
