slowing my buffer down is not how you get me to turn of my adblocker. no thanks.

YouTube didn't slow down the buffer. It was ublocks latest update. There's a patch rolling out I believe.

Was gonna comment you're wrong.

Turns out you're not. Well fuck me I guess.

I thought it was adblocks latest update.

Do you mean the actual video buffer or the page's loading time? Because they made it take 5~ seconds longer to load on Firefox when they started going after adblockers and my filter that replaced it with 0.0001 (or whatever) seconds hasn't been working for a little bit.

Is it really uBlock Origins? They mention AdBlock and AdBlock Plus, which are separate from uBlock Origins.
