    I have ublock origin on firefox and it’s really bad for me currently. This has traditionally been the good combo I believe.

    Not just slowing down, but stopping, then restarting after skipping a few seconds that you cannot access no matter what.

    For now the best solution I’ve found is to copy the video url, open potplayer and just hit the paste command and the video runs flawlessly.

    So they’ll have to close that loophole eventually, which means enshittifying the video streaming protocol for everything that isn’t the native web viewer, which will inconvenience more people who were used to something working, leading to another workaround, leading to…

    Youtube is gradually accelerating their enshittification. I’m looking forward to when it comes to a real head. Too many serious interested parties rely on it. I don’t know if peertube will be the first fallback, but I’m sure it’ll get a big bump.
