I'll go to pause something and the video will keep going for like 10 to 15 seconds until it finally stops, I'll try to watch something and the whole thing just freezes. Is this because of the attempt to foil ad blockers? and non Youtube Red remembers?! Fuck them! I'll never pay them a cent nor willingly let ads into my screen!

I have none of that, and I don't pay to watch YT.
It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present, and a waste to live in the future.

It's all their bloat for ads and tracking data.
Bosses are immune to the eat command so it won't be possible to end the final boss fight of the game by eating it.

It worked, just had to update it and now the videos are actually playing again. I miss when the internet wasn't something corporate dick wasn't constantly mating pressing with no lube or loss in stamina, shit is fucked.

The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist.

Youtube videos on FireFox (with uBlock) have a habit of getting to where they get really laggy for me. talking single digit FPS <_<

I only noticed this on my new laptop with Windows 11

Install Brave, see if it is getting the same result. Might be your laptop doesn't have enough RAM, close some tabs down as well, see if that boosts performance.
If you're not smart enough to survive, you are basically just food for something smarter.

Why the fuck would you have two browsers running at the same time? No wonder you're lagging out.

cause i use windows as windows and not in full screen.

Firefox on the left hand side for gamefaqs, a side youtube account, and random googling

Brave for discord and my main youtube account.

It was born out of when youtube was basically unusable on firefox (like 2009 era) so I'd have gamefaqs on the left and youtube on the right.

It's a shitty website that is actively being made shittier. Video sharing simply is not the site's function. Ever since they stopped trying to block people who use ad blockers, streams (for me) always freeze very soon after I click them. Then it's fine after I refresh the page. (firefox + ublock)
