    Ah, I was wondering why YouTube was taking so long to load recently. I thought it was just because their code was shit, and it turns out I was right, but not in the way I thought.

    Is it messing up in Smarttube too? Smarttube keeps buffering for me, or maybe it’s just a bug.

    So they’re doing the same thing as that time they killed Edge and stretched its skin over chromium?

    I’ve noticed that too, I just switch to Freetube when it happens.
    Simply disgusting, but it’s business as usual for Google.

      I just use Freetube either way. I can’t stand autoplaying videos or suggestions, popups, etc.

      Is free tube just pulling YouTube’s data or it a separate site? Can you watch livestreams if it’s the former? Basically all I use YouTube for is watching a couple streamers and watching Japanese udon restaurant channels while I eat my bologna sandwich for lunch

    Not noticing this change from the EU… Guess they’re too afraid of pulling that shit here?

    Wow, and it’s literally just “If you’re using Firefox, wait five seconds.”

    Bruh. I thought that was uBlock bypassing the ad or something.

    Reminds me of the “Netscape Navigator has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down” errors that Windows 98 used to throw.

    It would only throw one, and you could just move it out of the way and keep using Netscape.
