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.https://youtu.be/iBTEibxAi7I
Is it really uBlock Origins? They mention AdBlock and AdBlock Plus, which are separate from uBlock Origins.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
