YouTube intentionally slows down on non-chrome browsers

[-] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

The image says "visiting websites", not "YouTube". And Google does this for several years already, not just since 2023. The new 5 second delay is also happening in Chromium based browsers if you use an adblocker, it just isn't immediately rolling out to everyone yet. See A/B testing methodology.

Are they doing this for everyone? I’ve seen all the posts about it but haven’t had any issues myself. I’m using Firefox and uBlock

I did some testing last night and again this morning. Still no difference between Chrome and Firefox for me.
