YouTube blames ad blockers for slow load times, and it has nothing to do with your browser

YouTube has clarified in a statement that users who use ad blockers will have a suboptimal experience regardless of their browser.

This delay isn’t exclusive to Firefox, it’s in any browser where a user has enabled adblockers including in Chrome. Disable the adblocker and this delay magically go away. This was done on purpose.

    The original video showed that just changing the Agent string fixed the “problem”, so it has nothing to do with ad blocking.

      Was any else able to verify the claim in the original video? I couldn’t.
