I’m yet to see literally any of these things while using UBO, I almost feel like I’m being gaslighted at times.
I’m a paying YouTube premium subscriber and use adguard. But, I have been experiencing the YouTube app being slow in loading comments for some reason.
I think youtube has just started needing way more bandwidth than it used to. A few years ago, 100KB/s would load a videos page almost instantly, comments as well, and smoothly run 360p playback. Now even at 160KB/s I often spend 60+ seconds for parts of the page to even load.
That’s thanks to their shitty javascript. Gosh, I hate sites doing that so much
Just let me use my browser the way it’s intended to instoad of loading every shitty little html element dynamically with your shitty js doing shitty network requests dropping them like crazy
To be honest Youtube has always been slow to me, especially their streams. God, their streams are an absolutely resource hog, I’ve never seen a chat use up so much CPU power.
The last two times there were also errors like not being able to upvote anything. Later, I found it was a global youtube issue. YouTube needs to improve to be able to serve people at its scale.
Ad blockers have differences and some are better than others.
I have noticed slightly worse performance across the web in general though

Google-owned YouTube succeeded in shutting down the popular third-party YouTube Vanced app back in 2022
And 4 seconds later an alternative appeared.
Somehow Nintendo was harder on litigating yuzu than Google was on vanced
Anyone who knows Nintendo’s history, knows that they go super hard on litigating. Don’t let the happy little mascots fool you, they’re as aggressive as Disney when they think they can get away with it.
Google, on the other hand, still has some software people in their management structure.
Well they’ve shut down revanced for good apparently. I can’t make it load videos anymore. I used to be able to just reinstall and fix it, but it can’t be fixed anymore.
Working fine my friend.
Nope, fixed with newest update
Cool
It’s called Smart YouTube now for Android TV. For phone android there are several options. I like Youtube NewPipe.
Is this fake alert again, like with that bug in the Adblock Plus? I didn’t notice any issues.
“it’s rolling out in waves!”
It’s been kind of a long time for them to not have covered everyone. I suspect it’s just user error, especially considering the source of these articles is always just “some dude on social media saying trust me bro.”

That’s actually just kinda hilarious ngl
How many Youtube employees would be assigned to frontend/adblock sabotage efforts? I’m wondering whether the law of diminishing returns will be observed, or will the company have sufficient resources to maintain the shenanigans indefinitely.
If it’s the latter, Youtube can rest assured my resolve will match theirs, until the damned thing gets paywalled…
