does anyone here use librewolf? for the past month or so YouTube has been completely fucked there. constantly freezing, sometimes pic only, sometimes fully as if my internet is slow, which it isn't.
I'm suspecting they're purposely fucking it for non chromium browsers but haven't seen much complaining about it. i go back to Vivaldi for YouTube for now which works perfectly but soon enough the ublock will stop working.
does it happen to anyone? is it non chromiums? is librewolf? is it just mine?
I'm using LibreWolf with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and NoScript where I selectively allow scripts and I never got an ad served on YT
Privacy Badger seems a bit redundant there
People keep saying this but test, it catches few things uBlock doesn't and it allows you to control access level for these items as needed.
i don't get ad served either, that wasn't my question... but maybe it's the script thing, i don't have script blockers.
