This delay isn’t exclusive to Firefox, it’s in any browser where a user has enabled adblockers including in Chrome. Disable the adblocker and this delay magically go away. This was done on purpose.

Just to put this out there for those who probally didn’t read the article. YouTube does this 5 second delay thing, on purpose only if it detects a user using an adblocker if you don’t use the adblocker then Youtube will work as it normally would on that browser.
Whether it’s still a clunky experienceor the browser crashes really Is dependant on that browser and if it’s a good alternative browser.
In other words, ‘fix he delay by disabling the adblocker’, coming from Youtube themselves.
So I can either wait 5 seconds in silence, or have to watch a 5 second (possibly longer) ad? I know which one I’ll choose.
Man, I already had a hard time justifying my YouTube Premium subscription. I literally only have it for putting on stuff to sleep to on my TV without some ad telling me Mr. Beast wants to give me $10,000 if i click.
But the worse this gets, the more I feel like an asshole for giving them a dime.
