This would be a good point if the problem did not immediately go away completely by simply spoofing the user agent. As soon as youtube thinks that the browser accessing it is Chrome, it behaves perfectly well. Note that the actual web engine used to render the page is not different, just the reported web engine.
The point is, it has to be reproducible. On a clean FF install on linux, I cannot replicate this. Changing user agent does not affect the page load speed. So there has to be some another aspect, maybe iser's OS configuration or smth that affects this, too.
I can't reproduce it either. Android Phone, win10 PC, and private browser. All Firefox and uBlock Origin.
I did previously get that "disable it or else" message twice. I just submit feedback that I'd like the link to cancelling my Google services and it goes away for a while. I wonder if just submitting feedback disables the popup because it's instantaneously fixed.
Yeah I mean they should include a lot more info:
OS (version/build) and
FF version/build
at least.
Also is nobody saying that of course the second video renders faster because he hits reload and most of the stuff comes from cache?
