Chrome, edge, they only exist to download Firefox as far as I'm concerned.

Until yesterday at least.

Even still Firefox, for the time being, is still a better option than edge or chrome.

Oh no. What happened yesterday?

Firefox changed their TOS to allow them to harvest data for their AI (if you're using their AI, so far as I'm aware).

Cool. Good thing I don't use Microsoft products I guess.

FWIW, uBO Lite set to complete is still quite effective.

God damn it....now what? Firefox works like shit on YouTube.

Brave Browser has been solid.

You might want to use an Invidious instance, which hasn't been blocked by Google (typically smaller instances) or a dedicated YouTube application, like FreeTube.
It's the YouTube webpage that's coded like absolute fucking garbage and to only work on Chrome. The watching-videos part works just fine on Firefox.

I've always had problems with video playback with Firefox. With that being said I'll check out free tube
