I regret being complicit in allowing these silicon valley behemoths to reach a point where they're indelibly linked to practically every aspect of the average person's digital life.
At least the Fediverse and Lemmy are showing the way forward.

This is antitrust worthy
I haven't even noticed bc my internet is only 2 Mbps
I'm not seeing any delays, 5 second or otherwise, when using Firefox.
They've done this before, a long time ago, with IE11. For those that only remember its early years, later releases of Internet Explorer were actually decently compliant - but Google still prevented them from accessing places like Google Maps for having improper support. User agent switchers caused it to display perfectly.
Fuck Google
Does changing the user agent fix this? Anyone tried? I keep forgetting to try it myself.

What if we are already using YouTube premium and have ublock on FF. Would user agent spoof still be needed??
How annoying.

I started noticing how sometimes youtube just seemingly refused to load fully on my phone. I thought it was just my crap internet. But since I use Iceraven, a fork of firefox, it seems that may be why.
