YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again::YouTube users have noticed annoying delays and some features disabled when using ad blockers.
Stop using Chrome already.
The performance issues are because of Adblock and Adblock Plus: https://nitter.net/gorhill/status/1746263759495077919#m
It affects more sites than just YouTube.
For those that are not aware, set your VPN to Albania and you will never see a YouTube ad again.
Why is this?
presumably, it would be because ads are area dependent, and companies in Albania are not spending much on youtube ads.a
If you managed to get a VPN server on antarctica, you would likely see the same.
Yep… only downside is all your search results are going to be in Albanian.
You can change region in duckduckgo manually, probably in goggle as well.
That’s straight the opposite of my experience. 🤭
Changes like these are mostly A/B deployed, so it might eventually find itself to you.
…But I’m sure uBlock Origin will have put in a fix by that point.
Again? Hasn’t changed for me since they started doing that in November. YouTube is quite annoying to use for me these days, the site takes forever to load and only starts loading when I switch to the tab. Best thing to do is adding everything to a queue, videos load normally then for some reason. As a result I’m using YouTube less though, so not necessarily a bad thing.
I’m not sure the YouTube heads really thought this through. I’m doing the exact same thing. I got a Plex setup and I’ve been watching more and more content on that instead of YouTube. I honestly don’t even miss it. When I eventually go back and try to watch something on a non-ad block device (Apple TV), it further underscores how shitty the service is getting. Longer and longer ads and it seems like they are slowly getting louder than the content.

It’s baffling to me, how many people complain about YouTube- and continue to use YouTube. At this rate, they could murder your families and you’d still give them business.
JUST STOP USING YOUTUBE.
