I started noticing how sometimes youtube just seemingly refused to load fully on my phone. I thought it was just my crap internet. But since I use Iceraven, a fork of firefox, it seems that may be why.

I had a feeling this was the case. Youtube has been painful for the past month now.

In addition to the fact that I remember this happening several years ago, I'm pretty sure this has been an issue for a while. When I decided to exclusively use Firefox about a year ago, YouTube as a whole would load slowly and it still does.

And I hate the fact that Google knows that they will benefit from this because, unfortunately, a majority of YouTube users are sheeple.

Once upon a time, Google wanted to kill the user-agent.

Does not happen for me Safari or Firefox.

Any extensions you'd recommend for having Firefox spoof chrome?

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.
