"Checked to see if there was any delay" is not entirely a good argument when I have post history of going through the JS.

That 5000ms wait is still in there; if I had to guess, your Pihole is preventing any real issue there.

OK. I'm not claiming google isn't trying. I'm claiming it doesn't matter, and this is a solvable problem for end users. Most others in this thread are saying just FF and ublock does it, so I probably have overkill going on.

I only know this is happening with Youtube recently because of seeing other people talk about it.

Same here. uBO + Firefox

If there's been a delay, it's not been noticeable to me
