Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. (old.reddit.com)

The YouTube viewing experience on FF is terrible. I have premium no ads and still manage to break the interface occasionally by clicking a new video or seeking the video playing.

Firefox is great for YouTube. Don't support google via premium - those guys aren't exactly short of a dime. Addblockers are flawless.

Must be the premium experience then. I have zero issues on Firefox, on Linux, with adblocker. 👌
