    No. It works across all my systems. I never see ads on YT. However…

    Videos not loading or playing delayed: That’s a YT feature which they implemented for Firefox users, to annoy them. And to promote Chrome as “the fastest” webbrowser.

    I also have dns issues at home… I should fix them already. Sometimes, a page doesn’t load on the first try.

      You can try user agent switcher. Sometimes it is detected or causes issues, but if YouTube thinks you are running Chrome then you may get better service.

      I experience the same issue. All the elements on the page load extremely slow or sometimes not at all.

        I noted an experimental rule in uBO to address delays, but have not tried it yet myself.

        Under settings, Filter lists, Built-in, uBlock filters - Experimental

        Code has a comment:

        ! fake buffering on the initial load
