Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away.

Stop using youtube. It is made of poop.

I'm not very familiar with those services but are they not relying on YouTube, and therefore still YouTube in a way?

edit before anyone argues, I know these alternative frontends bring many privacy advantages and many usability advantages (and disadvantages). But the content still comes from YouTube which is what my argument is about. I wouldn't say an alternative frontend (or client for that matter) is not using YouTube...
