Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. The slow down is 5 secs according to the video.
Update 1: Safari faces the same treatment

Didn't similar shit get Microsoft hit with antitrust lawsuits?
Yeah but that was back when we had a mostly functional government. Times have changed.
Disfunctional goverment benefits the rich almost exclusively. Sad days ahead.
Maybe... Hope someone sues YT :)
Yes… many years later, and while those lawsuits were slowly being resolved, Microsoft was busy laying the groundwork for other bullshit that was unethical but not technically illegal.
If you actually expect a solution in a reasonable amount of time, either invent time travel or spoof Chrome.
